Description
Ultracold atoms, molecules and ions provide a unique playground to explore chemistry at ultracold temperatures. These systems are particularly appealing as controlled quantum systems. The multi-scale nature of these systems that emerges from the multitude of relevant energy and length
scales, as well as the high density of states of collision complexes, pose theoretical challenges. I will discuss recent progress in the field, focusing on chemical processes such as bimolecular chemical reactions, three-body recombination, photochemistry, and the control of these processes by "collisional shielding". We emphasize the synergy between theory and experiment, highlighting the predictive power of theory and future directions in ultracold chemistry research.
