SUMMARY:Ultracold Polar Molecules\, Physics Department Colloquium\, De
 borah Jin\, NIST & JILA
DESCRIPTION:Gases of atoms can be cooled to temperatures close to abso
 lute zero\, where intriguing quantum behaviors such as Bose-Einstein c
 ondensation and superfluidity emerge.   A new direction in experiments
  is to try to produce an ultracold gas of molecules\, rather than atom
 s.  In particular\, polar molecules\, which have strong dipole-dipole 
 interactions\, are interesting for applications ranging from quantum i
 nformation to modeling condensed matter physics.  I will describe expe
 riments that produce and explore an ultracold gas of polar molecules.
