Reactions between layer-resolved molecules mediated by dipolar spin exchange

Reactions between layer-resolved molecules mediated by dipolar spin exchange

Microscopic control over polar molecules with tunable interactions would enable realization of novel quantum phenomena. Using an applied electric field gradient, we demonstrate layer-resolved state preparation and imaging of ultracold potassium-rubidium molecules confined to two-dimensional planes in an optical lattice. The coherence time of rotational superpositions in individual layers is …
