Feat of experimental acrobatics leads to first synthesis of ultracold molecules

Achievement could benefit fields of superchemistry, quantum computing

A research team that in 2003 created an exotic new form of matter has now shown for the first time how to arrange that matter into complex molecules.
The experiments--conducted by Cheng Chin, now at the University of Chicago, and his colleagues under the leadership of Rudolf Grimm at Innsbruck University in Austria--may lead to a better scientific understanding of superconductivity and advance a growing new field called superchemistry. In the long term, they may also provide a strategy that could aid the development of quantum computers.
