Abstract:
Are chemical reactions described by new principles when atoms and
molecules are cooled to the ground state? In this talk, I will
describe the observation of coherent reactions between Bose
condensed atoms and molecules at 10 nano-Kelvins.

Cheng Chin obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University
and has been a professor in Physics at the University of Chicago
since 2005. He won the APS I.I. Rabi Prize (2011) and the
Bose-Einstein Condensation Award (2017). His research covers Laser
cooling and trapping, Bose-Einstein condensation and degenerate
Fermi gas, Feshbach resonance, quantum simulation and quantum
control.
