Cooling and Trapping of Molecules
The advancement in ultracold physics is attached to the development of cooling, manipulation, and trapping techniques for atoms and molecules. Therefore, it is necessary to understand some of the techniques that make ultracold physics. Efficient cooling a

Preface
This book is devoted to master’s and graduate students interested in the most intimate nature of chemical reactions at very low collision energies where the inherent quantum mechanical nature of chemical processes emerges and becomes tangible. My approach to the subject in this book revolves around presenting novel and interesting theoretical methods for studying cold and ultracold chemistry reactions, going beyond the conventional techniques in the field. Moreover, I try to show the reader the broadness of the field through the study of Rydberg atoms, ions, and physics beyond the standard model with ultracold atoms and molecules. In general, cold and ultracold chemistry are assumed to be disciplines focused on the control of chemical reactions involving atoms and molecules. However, in this book, it is shown that there is a lot more to cold and ultracold chemistry! For instance, we will see that ion–neutral collision leads to a new realm of chemical reactions that require the development of a chemical intuition different than that required for the neutral–neutral collision. In the same vein, the study of Rydberg– neutral collisions leads
