SUMMARY:Quantum Control of Ultracold Dipolar Molecules\, Atomic Physic
 s Seminar\, Huanqian Loh\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:Polar molecules offer long-range anisotropic interactions\
 , which are fundamental to a wide variety of phenomena\, from ferroflu
 id behavior to the folding of proteins. Recent demonstrations of cooli
 ng and trapping polar molecules have made it possible to study these p
 articles in the quantum regime\, making them highly attractive for app
 lications such as quantum information storage and exploring novel cond
 ensed matter phases. In this talk\, I will report on the quantum contr
 ol of dipolar fermionic NaK molecules\, which we have synthesized in t
 he ground state at ultracold temperatures as low as 300 nK. Using micr
 owaves\, we have coherently manipulated not only the rotational states
  of the molecules\, but also the nuclear spin degree of freedom. I wil
 l present our observation of nuclear spin coherence times on the scale
  of 1 second\, and discuss its implications for quantum memory and pro
 bing new physics via Hertz-level precision spectroscopy.
