Abstract

Ultracold ground-state diatomic molecules are produced from pairs of ⁸⁴Sr atoms in a Mott insulator. Even in the absence of a Feshbach resonance, the improved stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) technique used in the state-transferring process leads to a production efficiency above 80%.
