• Title: Solution of the two-center Dirac equation with 20 digits precision using the finite-element technique
• Authors: O. Kullie and S. Schiller
• Abstract summary: We present a precise fully relativistic numerical solution of the two-center Coulomb problem. The computed total energies have estimated fractional uncertainties of a few times $10-20$ for unit charges and a bond length of 2 atomic units. The result is relevant for future precision experiments, whereas at present the uncertainties arising from the quantum electrodynamic treatment of the rovibrational transition frequencies are dominant.

• Abstract: We present a precise fully relativistic numerical solution of the two-center Coulomb problem. The special case of unit nuclear charges is relevant for the accurate description of the ${\rm H}_2^+$ molecular ion and its isotopologues, systems that are an active experimental topic. The computation utilizes the 2-spinor minmax approach and the finite-element method. The computed total energies have estimated fractional uncertainties of a few times $10^{-20}$ for unit charges and a bond length of 2 atomic units. The fractional uncertainty of the purely relativistic contribution is $1\times10^{-17}$. The result is relevant for future precision experiments, whereas at present the uncertainties arising from the quantum electrodynamic treatment of the rovibrational transition frequencies. are dominant.

In the laser frequency window, where conical interactions are present, the difference in rate coefficients can be as large as $10-9$ cm$3$/s.

  Two-body scattering amplitude and energy spectrum of confined ultracold atoms are of fundamental importance for studies of ultracold atom physics. For many systems, one can efficiently calculate these quantities via the zero-range Huang-Yang pseudopotential (HYP) We show a method based on the quantum defect theory, with which $hat a_rm eff$ can be analytically derived for systems with van der Waals inter-atomic interaction.

  We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.
