Bosonic and fermionic dipolar collisions in confined geometries

ORAL

Abstract

We study ultracold collisions of point dipoles in quasi-1D and quasi-2D geometries. We explore the fundamental aspects that dictate the collisional properties of both bosonic and fermionic dipoles when exposed to an external electric field. We also discuss the possible effects that the confined geometry might have for both species and explore interference effects which might prove useful in achieving stable samples of ultracold dipolar molecules.
