SUMMARY:Making and probing Bose-Einstein condensates of polar molecule
 s\, Atomic Physics Seminar\, Dr. Ian Stevenson\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, our lab realized the first BEC of polar molecul
 es. By eliminating two- and three-body collisional losses via double m
 icrowave shielding\, gases of sodium-cesium molecules are evaporativel
 y cooled to quantum degeneracy. The BEC reveals itself via a bimodal m
 omentum distribution when the phase-space density exceeds one. In this
  talk\, I will share our latest insights into controlling the dipolar 
 interactions in the BEC. Notably\, we find that as dipolar interaction
 s increase\, their characteristic length scale exceeds the interpartic
 le separation\, signifying the onset of strong interactions.
