Narrow resonances corresponding to quantum transitions in atoms, molecules, quantum dots, rare-earth ions and color centers constitute the basis of quantum optics with numerous applications in sensing, imaging, computation, communication, etc. The highest quality atomic resonances have been achieved in atomic clocks. Their realization requires low atomic density, vacuum environment, laser cooling below 100 nK temperature, and magnetic traps or optical lattices. [mehr]

The electric dipole moment of polar molecules and their rich internal structure makes them excellent candidates for applications in precision measurements, controlled ultracold chemistry, and quantum simulations. Many applications require that the molecular sample is cooled to limit the number of occupied quantum states and trapped. [mehr]
