Scattering resonances due to the dipole–dipole interaction between ultracold molecules, induced by static or microwave fields, are studied theoretically. We develop a method for coupled-channel calculations that can efficiently impose many short-range boundary conditions, defined by a short-range phase shift and loss probability as in quantum defect theory. We study how resonances appear as the short-range loss probability is lowered below the universal unit probability. This may become…

Extreme tunability of ultracold chemical reaction rates is demonstrated by inducing resonant dipolar interactions by means of an external electric field and it is shown that strong external electric fields near dipolar-mediated resonances can suppress reactive losses in ultracolds quasi-2D KRb gas.
