We study dipolar relaxation in both ultracold thermal and Bose-condensed Cr atom gases. We show three different ways to control dipolar relaxation, making use of either a static magnetic field, an oscillatory magnetic field, or an optical lattice to reduce the dimensionality of the gas from three-dimensional (3D) to two-dimensional (2D).

We develop a theoretical model to describe the radio-frequency (RF) induced coupling of a pair of colliding atoms to a Feshbach molecule when a magnetic field arbitrarily far from the Feshbach resonance is modulated in time.

We analyze a narrow Feshbach resonance with ultracold chromium atoms colliding in 𝑑 wave. The resonance is made possible by dipole-dipole interactions, which couple an incoming 𝑙=2 collision channel with a bound molecular state with 𝑙=0.
