In our experiment, we create a translationally ultracold, dense quantum gas of molecules bound by more than 1000 wave numbers in the electronic ground state. Specifically, we stimulate with 80% efficiency, a two-photon transfer of molecules associated on a Feshbach resonance from a Bose-Einstein condensate of cesium atoms. In the process, the initial loose, long-range electrostatic bond of the Feshbach molecule is coherently transformed into a tight chemical bond. We demonstrate coherence of the transfer in a Ramsey-type experiment and show that the molecular sample is not heated during the transfer. Our results show that the preparation of a quantum gas of molecules in specific rovibrational states is possible and that the creation of a Bose-Einstein condensate of molecules in their rovibronic ground state is within reach.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Danzl, Johann G, Elmar Haller, Mattias Gustavsson, Manfred Mark, Russell Hart, Nadia Bouloufa, Olivier Dulieu, Helmut Ritsch, and Hanns Nägerl. “Quantum Gas of Deeply Bound Ground State Molecules.” <i>Science</i>.
