During the last years there has been a rapidly growing interest in the field of cold molecules.1–3 This has obviously been inspired by the spectacular successes in the closely related field of cold atoms, which have recently been recognized by the award of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics to Cornell, Ketterle, and Wieman. But molecules have much more to offer than simply extending the experiments already performed with atoms to more complex species.
