Spectroscopy and Ground-State Transfer of Ultracold Bosonic $^{39}$K$^{133}$Cs Molecules
Description
We report the creation of ultracold samples of 39K133Cs molecules in their rovibrational ground
state. By investigating potentially suitable excited states using one- and two-photon spectroscopy,
we have identified a pathway to the ground state via an exceptionally narrow intermediate state.
Using Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP), we create trapped samples of up to 3500
molecules at temperatures of 1 μK with one-way efficiencies of 71%. The lifetime of these samples
is limited by a near-universal two-body loss process, which could shed new light on similar loss
mechanisms in other molecular species. Our results are a step towards establishing an alternative
platform for the study of bosonic and fermionic quantum matter with strong dipolar interactions.
