Quantum Control Spectroscopy in Ultracold Atomic and Molecular Gases — •Matthias Weidemüller — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Heidelberg, Germany

In the past years, there has been enormous progress in the investigation and understanding of the dynamics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases. It was soon realized that methods of coherent control can be fruitfully applied to these systems, which are characterized by an extreme level of control over motional and internal degrees of freedom. After a general introduction into these recent developments, I will focus on the interaction of shaped ultrashort laser pulses with ultracold atoms and molecules and present our recent work on this subject.

The work presented has been done in collaboration with T. Mullins, R. Wester and other members of my former group at the University of Freiburg, and the groups of L. Wöste and C. Koch from FU Berlin.
