Buffer-gas loaded magneto-optical traps for Yb, Tm, Er, and Ho
Novel physics in areas like quantum information, cold controlled chemistry and precision measurements is predicted to be accessible with molecules at temperatures in the mK regime. These approaches require molecular beam sources which are unavailable at present. In particular, providing cold, slow and bright beams of a general set of molecules, ideally independent of their internal structure, is an on-going challenge in research.
