Spin-controlled atom–ion chemistry

Chemical reactions with ultracold atoms and ions are explored so far with the atom–ion interactions. Here the authors discuss spin-exchange process and show that the spin state of an ensemble of neutral Rb atoms can be used to control the final spin of an imbedded Sr+ ion in the collisions.
