Title: Confinement-induced resonances for the creation of quasi-1D ultracold gases of alkali – alkaline-earth dimers

Abstract: Ultracold gases of polar molecules are emerging as a versatile platform for many applications, such as quantum simulation, precision measurement and quantum chemistry, owing to their long-range, anisotropic, dipole-dipole interactions. However, their realization remains experimentally challenging: laser cooling is hindered by the complex structure of the molecule, while magneto-association can be unfeasible for certain mixtures due to extremely narrow Feshbach resonances. In our work (arXiv:2506.02579) we theoretically explore an alternative route based on confinement-induced resonances (CIRs), which arise when a strong confinement effectively reduces the dynamics of the system to lower-dimensional regimes. Focusing on a quasi-one-dimensional mixture of ⁸⁷Rb and ⁸⁷Sr, we identify conditions where CIRs can be exploited to obtain ⁸⁷Rb-⁸⁷Sr dimers, offering a promising pathway toward the creation of ultracold gases of polar molecules.
