Fig. 3: Loss of molecules from the trap.
From: Second-scale rotational coherence and dipolar interactions in a gas of ultracold polar molecules
Molecules were prepared with an initial density of 6 × 1010 cm−3. a, Comparison of loss for molecules prepared in \(\left\vert 0\right\rangle\) in the magic trap (filled circles) and an equivalent trap using light with wavelength of 1,064 nm (empty stars). b, Comparison of loss from the trap for molecules prepared in either \(\left\vert 0\right\rangle\) or \(\left\vert \bar{1}\right\rangle\) with the superposition \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\left\vert 0\right\rangle +\left\vert \bar{1}\right\rangle )\). Exponential fits are shown for all results, and the error bars indicate 1σ standard error.
