Abstract

Photoassociation is an important tool in the field of ultracold AMO physics [38]. It extends the fantastic progress of precision spectroscopy in ultracold atoms into the molecular domain. The technique allows precise measurements of molecular potentials useful for characterising atomic interactions and for studies of quantum chemistry [46]. Photoassociation performed in a lattice allows precision spectroscopy of molecular transitions in a Doppler- and recoil-free environment similar to atomic clocks [10, 57]. These molecular clocks are a useful tool for the study of fundamental physics due to their sensitivity to the variation of fundamental constants such as the fine structure constant \(\alpha \) and the proton-electron mass ratio [17, 69, 89].
