QuantumWire

Recently, scientists from the Matteo Zaccanti of the Italian National Institute of Optics have created a dense gas composed of lithium-chromium (LiCr) molecules at a temperature of 200 nanokelvin. This gas consists of ultracold molecules with strong magnetic dipoles. The researchers say that transferring the molecules to their absolute ground state, expecting to create a doubly polar molecule Bose-Einstein condensate with both electric and magnetic dipole moments. These dipolar molecules could potentially lead to new quantum simulation and quantum computing schemes.
