Research summary
AI-generated

Debayan Mitra works in experimental atomic and molecular physics, focusing on cooling molecules to extremely low temperatures using lasers and magnetic traps. This work aims to gain precise control over individual molecules, which can then be used to simulate quantum systems and to test fundamental physics. Recent projects include laser cooling of increasingly complex molecules and using molecules to build quantum simulators.
