Dr. Weinstein studies ultracold atomic and molecular physics, with an emphasis on:
[Top]- - cryogenic cooling techniques
- - molecular collisions
- - "exotic" cold atom collisions
- - atom and molecular spin dynamics & spin coherence
- - coherent interaction of light with atomic gases
- - ultracold chemistry
