摘要:

旋转态叠加的极性分子表现出长程偶极相互作用,但在捕获的样品中保持它们的相干性是一个挑战。我们目前的计算表明,许多激光冷却分子有方便的旋转过渡,是异常不敏感的磁场。我们在实验上验证了这一点,其中我们发现一个过渡的灵敏度低于5赫兹G $^{-1}$,并使用它来证明在磁阱的旋转相干时间为6.4(8)毫秒。模拟表明,这是可行的,以延长到1秒以上,使用一个较小的云在偏置磁阱。

英文摘要:

Polar molecules in superpositions of rotational states exhibit long-range dipolar interactions, but maintaining their coherence in a trapped sample is a challenge. We present calculations that show many laser-coolable molecules have convenient rotational transitions that are exceptionally insensitive to magnetic fields. We verify this experimentally for CaF where we find a transition with sensitivity below 5 Hz G$^{-1}$ and use it to demonstrate a rotational coherence time of 6.4(8) ms in a magnetic trap. Simulations suggest it is feasible to extend this to more than 1 s using a smaller cloud in a biased magnetic trap.
