High-resolution Internal State Control of Ultracold ²³Na⁸⁷Rb Molecules

We report the full control over the internal states of ultracold $^{23}$Na$^{87}$Rb molecules, including vibrational, rotational and hyperfine degrees of freedom. Starting from a sample of weakly bound Feshbach molecules, we realize the creation of molecules in single hyperfine levels of both the rovibrational ground and excited states with a high-efficiency and high-resolution stimulated Raman adiabatic passage. Starting from the rovibrational and hyperfine ground state, we demonstrate rotational and hyperfine control with one- and two-photon microwave spectroscopy. This achievement of fully controlling the molecular internal states paves the way to study state dependent molecular collisions and state controlled chemical reactions.
