    The document provides a summary of talks from the ISMS 2019 conference. It includes: 1) A plenary talk on Monday about laser cooling of molecules towards ultracold symmetric and chiral species using methods like buffer gas cooling to access discrete quantum states and minimize line widths. 2) A Friday talk about the pseudo Jahn-Teller effect in metal alkoxides and how vibronic structure and spin-orbit coupling help explain phenomena when spin-orbit coupling is much larger than Jahn-Teller coupling. 3) A brief mention of a Friday talk asking why OH absorbs broadly in the infrared.

    uhhh...and i guess that’s it for now

    Monday

    Plenary:

    Laser Cooling of Molecules: Towards Ultracold Symmetric and Chiral Species


    (John Doyle, Harvard):
    Atomic, molecular and optical → AMO
    Why cold molecules: access discrete quantum states and also minimizes line widths. (Like
    FT Z
    Method: buffer gas cooling (use helium gas to collisionally slow molecules). → touches on
    uses of cold atoms.
    Eckhart Potential
    Hierarchy Problem
    Degrees of cold:
    1K 10−3 K 10−6 K
    Matter in universe Ultracold collisions Quantum simulations

    Friday

    Pseudo Jahn Teller Effect Metal Alkoxides Interest from case where SO coupling much
    larger than JT coupling (SO vs PseudoJT)
    Vibronic structure helps explain this.
    CaOCH3 (X2A1), decently high A state. SO split about 67 cm-1.
    matrix constructed from PSJ coupling (off diagonal) and something else...
    Use 2 approraches to simplifying hamiltonian matrix – both make 3x3 a 2x2 using replace-
    ments, or make some approximations.
    So in essence the theory did not account for PJT and SO, but with re-worked matrix it
    agrees quite well!
