abstract

We investigate the use of microwave radiation to produce a repulsive shield between pairs of ultracold polar molecules and prevent collisional losses that occur when molecular pairs reach short range. We carry out coupled-channels calculations on RbCs+RbCs and CaF+CaF collisions in microwave fields. We show that effective shielding requires predominantly circular polarization, but can still be achieved with elliptical polarization that is around 90% circular.

  • High-Fidelity Microwave-Polarization Control in a Rydberg-Ensemble Experiment physics.atom-ph · 2025-08-09 · accept · none · ref 3 · internal anchor

    A chamber-matrix calibration using spin-resolved Rydberg-EIT spectroscopy lets the authors synthesize σ−, π, and σ+ microwave polarizations with >99% fidelity in a reflective chamber, extended off-resonance by two-photon transitions.
