DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sarah M. Skoff\nhosted by Johann Georg Danzl\nAbstract
 : Molecules come in a huge variety with some consisting only of a small nu
 mber of atoms while others form the complex building blocks for phenomena 
 like life itself. Understanding molecules in more detail\, starting from t
 he simplest ones\, and aiming to exploit the various properties\, also of 
 complex molecules\, is of interest to a wide range of fields from chemical
  physics and life sciences to quantum information. For many applications o
 f molecules\, good control of them is essential\, which in turn often requ
 ires low temperatures. The complex internal structure of most molecules pr
 ohibits laser cooling and therefore other techniques are being developed. 
 Buffer gas cooling represents a versatile method that allows direct coolin
 g of a large variety of molecular species and yields high fluxes of cold m
 olecules at temperatures of a few Kelvin. I will present how such buffer g
 as sources can be implemented and how they can be used for spectroscopy an
 d as an ideal starting point for further cooling or trapping stages.Embedd
 ing dye molecules in solids is another means to gain control of a complex 
 molecular system and utilize some of its favourable properties. This appro
 ach makes it possible to probe an individual molecule without the need for
  ensemble averaging. I will show how optical nanofibers can be used to add
 ress individual molecules and present the significant effect even a single
  molecule can have on the light field. I will also show how this nanofiber
 -based platform can be combined with a fiber-integrated cavity to enhance 
 this light-matter interaction further.
