12:00 – 1:00 p.m.

 The process of breaking one chemical bond and forming another is challenging to understand at a quantum mechanical level. This basic understanding is important to any molecular reaction.  However, the complicated quantum nature of these processes is difficult to explore experimentally because full control over all degrees of freedom is required. We create ultracold molecular systems to study interactions and simple chemical reactions while controlling both the internal and external degrees of freedom in the quantum regime.
