SYLC: Symposium Laser-cooled Molecules

SYLC 1: Laser-cooled Molecules

Friday, March 14, 2025, 11:00–13:00, HS 1+2

Laser cooling of molecules, once considered impractical, has now emerged as a powerful tool for achieving precise control over molecular motion down to the quantum regime. Remarkable progress has been made in recent years on laser cooling of increasingly complex species, combining cooled molecules with tweezer arrays, and investigating novel cooling techniques. These advancements open up promising avenues for the application of cold, controlled molecules in precision measurements, quantum information, ultracold chemistry and beyond. This symposium gathers leading experts from both experimental and theoretical aspects to present and discuss the latest developments in this quickly advancing field.
