Low Temperature Chemistry Group at UBC
Research in Professor Momose's group is focused on the study of properties and dynamics of
extremely cold molecules/particles by high-resolution spectroscopy and their applications to
physics, chemistry, astronomy, and information science.
Study of cold (< 1 K) and ultracold (< 1 miccro K) molecules is one of the hottest research
fields in the modern Chemical Physics, as numerous new physics and chemsitry of molecules are
expected to be observed. Application of cold and ultracold molecules
includes precision spectroscopy, cold chemistry, coherent control, molecular quantum
computations, and beyod the standard model in fundamental particle physics.
We are developing new techniques to make ultracold molecules by various methods, and
also developing new spectroscopic methods for the measurements and manipulation of cold/ultracold molecules.
1) Making cold and ultracold molecules.
2) Single atom/molecule spectroscopy in cryogenic matrices.
3) Spectroscopy of molecules in quantum condensed phases.
4) Coherent control of cold molecules and application to quantum computation.
5) Astronomical observation of interstellar molecules.
6) Measurement of the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) using ultra-cold neutrons.
