We report a single-ion optical atomic clock with fractional frequency uncertainty of 5.5 x 10^-19 and frequency stability of 3.5 x 10^-16/sqrttau/s}, based on quantum logic spectroscopy of a single 27Al+ ion. A co-trapped 25Mg+ ion provides sympathetic

Multi-wavelength, multi-port light sources formed with a Kerr-soliton microcomb and a wavelength demultiplexer are a key part of optical links utilizing wavelength-division multiplexing. Critical and emerging technologies such as data-center connectivity

We show the effects of ladder ionization and hyperfine quenching on charge state distributions and spectral features of ions in electron beam ion trap (EBIT) devices. Ladder ionization with intermediate excitation of metastable states proceeds at lower

Much of our knowledge of quantum systems is encapsulated in the expectation value of Hermitian operators, experimentally obtained by averaging projective measurements. However, dynamical properties are often described by products of operators evaluated at

We consider the Zeeman shift in Rydberg atoms induced by room-temperature blackbody radiation (BBR). BBR shifts to the Rydberg levels are dominated by the familiar BBR Stark shift. However, the BBR Stark shift and the BBR Zeeman shift exhibit different

We propose the use of transition-edge sensor (TES) single-photon detectors as a simultaneous target and sensor for direct dark matter searches, and report results from the first search of this kind. We perform a 489 h science run with a TES device
Complex chalcogenides in the MPS3 family of materials (M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) display remarkably different phase progressions depending upon the metal center orbital filling, character of the P–P linkage, and size of the van der Waals gap. There is also a

Measurement of signals generated by superconducting Josephson junction (JJ) circuits require ultra-fast components located in close proximity to the generating circuitry. We report a detailed study of optimal design criteria for a JJ-based sampler that

We demonstrate the imaging of localized surface electric (E) field effects on the atomic spectrum in a vapor cell used in Rydberg atom-based sensors. These surface E-fields can result from an induced electric charge distribution on the surface. Induced

This work thoroughly examines several analytical tools, each possessing a different level of mathematical intricacy, for the purpose of characterizing the orientation distribution function of elongated objects under flow. Our investigation places an
The interplay of interactions between aqueous ions and the confinement of subnanoscale pores in solid 2D membranes causes a range of barrier-limited phenomena, including selective ion trapping and permeation, mechanosensitive transport, and memristive

We demonstrate ultra-broadband optoelectronic mixing of frequency combs that provides phase-coherent detection of a repetition frequency up to 500 GHz, using a high-speed modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodiode. Nonlinear photo-electron effects in
We conduct cw-Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) measurements using a fiber-coupled NV sensor to infer temperature. Our approach leverages a probabilistic feedforward inference model designed to maximize the likelihood of observed ODMR spectra
