Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ultracold molecular energy level measurement, in particular to a device and method for accurately measuring molecular dissociation energy. Background technique [0002] In recent years, ultracold molecules have played a huge role in precision measurement, quantum computing, and many-body problems due to their unique characteristics such as rich vibrational-rotational energy level structures and long coherence time in the ground state. [0003] In applications based on ultracold molecules, the preparation of ultracold vibrotransformed ground-state molecules is a key step. The experimentally prepared initial state molecules are excited state molecules, and it is necessary to transfer the excited state molecules to the ground state by a suitable method. The commonly used method is the stimulated Raman adiabatic transfer method, such as figure 2 As shown, the first excitation light resonates with the ground ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the complexity of molecules compared to atomic structures, accurate theoretical calculations of energy level data are more difficult

In the experimental precise measurement of the internal structure of ultracold molecules, limited by the limitations of the accuracy of experimental measuring instruments, the highest limit of measurement accuracy is the accuracy of the wavelength meter (20MHz), and more accurate experimental measurement is not easy to achieve
