Enhancement of ultracold molecule formation by local control in the nanosecond regime

We describe quantum simulations of ultracold ^87 Rb _2 molecule formation using photoassociation (PA) with nanosecond-time-scale pulses of frequency chirped light. In particular, we compare the case of a linear chirp to one where the frequency evolution is optimized by local control (LC) of the phas...
