Towards a quantum gas microscope for molecules
Abstract
We report progress towards the building of a quantum gas microscope for molecules that has the flexibility to produce RbCs or KCs diatomic molecules. A quantum gas microscope for molecules combines the state-of-the-art imaging and addressing techniques currently employed in atomic quantum gas microscopes and applies them to molecule experiments. The long-range dipole-dipole interactions between heteronuclear polar molecules will allow for studies, all with single lattice-site resolution, of extended Hubbard models, which are expected to exhibit much richer many-body physics, including novel checkerboard, star, and stripe phases.
