Laser cooling Rydberg molecules—a detailed study of the helium dimer

The helium dimer in its metastable triplet state is a promising candidate to be the first laser-cooled homonuclear molecule. An ultracold gas of He $_2^*$ would enable a new generation of precision measurements to test quantum electrodynamics for three- and four-electron molecules through Rydberg sp...
