摘要: Molecular targets prepared in well-defined quantum states play an essential part a wide range of fields, from metrology to astrochemistry. Now, HD+ ions have been their lowest vibrational and rotational level using laser-cooling scheme. This provides fresh approach for exploring such phenomena applications experimentally.
