Polaritonic chemistry offers the possibility of modifying molecular properties and even influencing chemical reactivity through strong coupling between vibrational transitions and confined light modes in optical cavities. Despite…
We present evidence for small oscillations we observe in electron-positron and proton-antiproton annihilation data, with a periodicity of 76+-2 MeV, independent of the beam energy. We discuss some possible scenarios to explain the…
In recent experiments on Na Bose-Einstein condensates [S. Inouye et al, Nature 392, 151 (1998); J. Stenger et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2422 (1999)], large loss rates were observed when a time-varying magnetic field was used to tune a…
A coupled atom-molecule condensate with an intraspecies Feshbach resonance is employed to explore matter wave bistability both in the presence and in the absence of a unidirectional optical ring cavity. In particular, a set of conditions…
We precisely measured the binding energy of a molecular state near the Feshbach resonance in a $^{85}$Rb Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Rapid magnetic field pulses induced coherent atom-molecule oscillations in the BEC. We measured the…
We have observed Feshbach resonances for 133Cs atoms in two different hyperfine states at ultra-low static magnetic fields by using an atomic fountain clock. The extreme sensitivity of our setup allows for high signal-to-noise-ratio…
We observe magnetically tuned collision resonances for ultracold Cs2 molecules stored in a CO2-laser trap. By magnetically levitating the molecules against gravity, we precisely measure their magnetic moment. We find an avoided level…
In the article by Ma~\emph{et al.}~[Phys.~Rev.~A {\bf 94}, 052709 (2016)], $\gamma$-ray spectra for positron annihilation on molecules were calculated in the independent-particle approximation with the positron wavefunction set to unity.…
We provide an overview of experiments exploring resonances in the collision of ultracold clouds of atoms. Using a laser-based accelerator that capitalizes on the energy resolution provided by the ultracold atomic setting, we unveil…
We investigate ultrafast vibronic dynamics triggered by intense femtosecond infrared pulses in small molecules. Our study is based on numerical simulations performed with 2D model molecules, and analyzed in the perspective of the renown…
A general theory of electronic excitations in aggregates of molecules coupled to intramolecular vibrations and the harmonic environment is developed for simulation of the third-order nonlinear spectroscopy signals. The model is applied in…
We report a unique feature of magnetic field Feshbach resonances in which atoms collide with non-zero orbital angular momentum. P-wave ($l=1$) Feshbach resonances are split into two components depending on the magnitude of the resonant…
Vibrational polaritons, hybrid light-matter states formed between molecular vibrations and infrared (IR) cavity modes, provide a novel approach for modifying chemical reaction pathways and energy transfer processes. For vibrational…
The influence of vibrational motion on electron conduction through single molecules bound to metal electrodes is investigated employing first-principles electronic-structure calculations and projection-operator Green's function methods.…
Different computational methods are employed to evaluate elastic (rotationally summed) integral and differential cross sections for low energy (below about 10 eV) positron scattering off gas-phase C$_2$H$_2$ molecules. The computations are…
We use a class of variational wave functions to study the properties of an impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate, i.e. the "Bose polaron". The impurity interacts with the condensate through a contact interaction, which can be tuned by a…
We have produced and detected molecules using a p-wave Feshbach resonance between 40K atoms. We have measured the binding energy and lifetime for these molecules and we find that the binding energy scales approximately linearly with…
Resonant positron annihilation on atomic electrons provides a powerful method to search for light new particles coupled to $e^+e^-$. Reliable estimates of production rates require a detailed characterization of electron momentum…
In the regime of strong coupling between molecular excitons and confined optical modes, the intra-molecular degrees of freedom are profoundly affected, leading to a reduced vibrational dressing of polaritons compared to bare electronically…
Positron binding in parabenzoquinone is studied using \textit{ab initio} many-body theory. The effects of electron-positron correlations including polarization, virtual positronium formation and positron-hole repulsion, as well as those of…
