Diatomic molecule in the polar trap
We discuss the trapping of heteronuclear diatomic molecules prepared in their electronic and vibrational ground states. We tune and shape the trapping potential for bosonic polar molecules in superpositions of rotational states by dressing rotational e…

Handling the asymmetric spectral line profile: application to hydrogen Lyman-α transition
This paper discusses some features of the spectral line profile theory used in the treatment of measured atomic transitions. It is shown that going beyond the established linear approximation for the spectral line contour in the case of its nonresonant…
