论文摘要
近年来,通过开发冷却,陷阱和控制的技术,分子的精确测量已迅速提高。分子的复杂性使它们成为研究的挑战,但也提供了增强对许多有趣效果敏感性的机会。与双原子分子相比,多原子分子具有额外的复杂性,但仍然“简单”足以受到激光冷却和控制。虽然激光冷却分子仍然是研究前沿本身,但仍有许多提出的和正在进行的实验试图将超低温度与分子的内在灵敏度相结合。从这个角度来看,我们讨论了一些应用,在这些应用中,激光冷却的多原子分子可能在标准模型内外的基本物理学的精确测量中提供了优势。
Precision measurements in molecules have advanced rapidly in recent years through developments in techniques to cool, trap, and control. The complexity of molecules makes them a challenge to study, but also offers opportunities for enhanced sensitivity to many interesting effects. Polyatomic molecules offer additional complexity compared to diatomic molecules, yet are still "simple" enough to be laser-cooled and controlled. While laser cooling molecules is still a research frontier itself, there are many proposed and ongoing experiments seeking to combine the advanced control enabled by ultracold temperatures with the intrinsic sensitivity of molecules. In this perspective, we discuss some applications where laser-cooled polyatomic molecules may offer advantages for precision measurements of fundamental physics, both within and beyond the Standard Model.
