Doubly dipolar molecules exhibit complex internal spin-dynamics when electric and magnetic fields are both applied. Near magnetic trap minima, these spin-dynamics lead to enhancements in Majorana spin-flip transitions by many orders of magnitude relative to atoms, and are thus an important obstacle for progress in molecule trapping and cooling. We conclusively demonstrate and address this with OH molecules in a trap geometry where spin-flip losses can be tuned from over $200 \text{ s}^{-1}$ to…

This work demonstrates the efficient transfer of molecules from a magneto-optical trap into a conservative magnetic quadrupole trap, and opens a promising new path to study ultracold molecular collisions, and potentially to produce quantum-degenerate molecular gases via sympathetic cooling with co-trapped atoms.

Doubly polar molecules, possessing an electric dipole moment and a magnetic dipole moment, can strongly couple to both an external electric field and a magnetic field, providing unique opportunities
Ultracold Rare-Earth Magnetic Atoms with an Electric Dipole Moment.

It is shown that the induced electric dipole moment is strongly dependent on the angle between the fields, and the lifetime of the field-mixed levels is found in the millisecond range, thus allowing for suitable experimental detection and manipulation.
Collisions between cold molecules in a superconducting magnetic trap

Collisions between cold molecules are essential for studying fundamental aspects of quantum chemistry, and may enable the formation of quantum degenerate molecular matter by evaporative cooling.
Self-Bound Doubly Dipolar Bose-Einstein Condensates.

Physical review letters
• 2020
By varying the angle between the two dipoles, a dimensional crossover from quasi-one-dimensional to quasi-two-dimensional self-bound droplets is found, which opens a so far unique scenario in condensate physics, in which adimensional crossover is solely driven by interactions in the absence of any confinement.
