Description
Ultracold atoms and molecules continue to provide new opportunities for basic quantum science, for precision measurement, and for the study of paradigmatic Hamiltonians. I will illustrate two novel systems: Using ultracold NaLi atoms in the triplet ground state, we were able to control chemistry via magnetic fields and quantum interference. Using a new optical superresolution technique, we could localize dysprosium atoms with a separation much smaller than the diffraction limit of light, down to 50 nm, and observe strong purely magnetic interactions between atoms which are usually much weaker than electric interactions.
