Cross-Molecular Coupling in Combined Photoassociation and Feshbach Resonances (original) (raw)

We model combined photoassociation and Feshbach resonances in a Bose-Einstein condensate. When the magnetic field is far-off resonance, cross coupling between the two target moleculesenabled by the shared dissociation continuum-leads to an anomalous dispersive shift in the position of laser resonance, as well as unprecedented elimination and enhancement of resonant photoassociation via quantum interference. For off-resonant lasers, a dispersive shift and quantum interference appear similarly in resonant three-body Feshbach losses, except that the Feshbach node is tunable with intensity.
