Coherent states are used to prepare a crystal using the Atomic Frequency Comb protocol for quantum memory. Here, semiclassical theory is developed and compared to experimental photon echoes of a coherent pulse.
High-resolution imaging of ultracold atoms typically requires custom high numerical aperture (NA) optics, as is the case for quantum gas microscopy. These high NA objectives involve many optical elements each of which contributes to loss and light
For the past two and a half decades, anomalous heating of trapped ions from nearby electrode surfaces has continued to demonstrate unexpected results. Caused by electric-field noise, this heating of the ions' motional modes remains an obstacle for scalable

The performance of solid-state electrochemical systems is intimately tied to the potential and lithium distributions across electrolyte–electrode junctions that give rise to interface impedance. Here, we combine two operando methods, Kelvin probe force
A generalization of the Hylleraas-Configuration Interaction method (Hy-CI) first proposed in a previous study, the Exponentially Correlated Hylleraas-Configuration Interaction method (E-Hy-CI) in which the single rij of an Hy-CI wave function is

Integrated circuits are building blocks in millimeter-wave handsets and base stations, requiring nonlinear characterization to optimize performance and energy efficiency. Today's sources use digital-to-analog converters to synthesize arbitrary electrical

We experimentally demonstrate the amplification of picosecond pulses at high repetition rates through coherent addition of successive pulses of a mode-locked pulse train in a high finesse optical cavity equipped with cavity dumping. Amplification greater
The experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensation in a dilute gas has presented physicists with rare and novel opportunites. We anticipate that both theorists and experimenters will be taking advantage of these opportunities for some years to come

We report on a model for the bipolar amplification effect (BAE), which enables defect density measurements utilizing BAE in metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). BAE is an electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) technique

Conformational properties of 'perfect' nanogel particles having a lattice network topology by molecular dynamics simulations to quantify the influence of polymer topology on the solution properties of this type of branched molecular architecture. In

We quantify the structure and dynamics in molecular simulations of star polymer films of varying arm mass Ma and number of star arms f on a supporting solid substrate with an attractive interaction and compare to the corresponding properties of thin films

The NIST Robotic Optical Scattering Instrument (ROSI) serves as the national reference instrument for specular and diffuse bidirectional reflectance measurements in the ultraviolet (UV) to short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength regions. This paper gives a

We demonstrate suppression of the reactive loss in a gas of ultracold 40K 87Rb molecules in a three-dimensional geometry. The electric field-induced collisional shielding suppresses loss by two orders of magnitude while preserving elastic, long-range

Optical gas refractometry has enabled new pressure standards to be developed based on a dual Fixed Length Optical Cavity (FLOC) system. NIST in partnership with MKS Instruments has created a portable FLOC pressure standard based gas refractivity. A key
This review presents a survey of the most important achievements in atomic and molecular calculations obtained with the Hylleraas-configuration interaction method (Hy-CI) and its extension the exponentially correlated Hylleraas-configuration interaction

We introduce a protocol to observe p-wave interactions in ultracold fermionic atoms loaded in a 3D optical lattice. Our scheme uses specific motionally excited band states to form an orbital subspace immune to band relaxation. A laser dressing is applied

We demonstrate the use of multiple atomic-level Rydberg-atom schemes for continuous frequency detection of radio-frequency (RF) fields. Resonant detection of RF fields by electromagnetically induced transparency and Autler-Townes (AT) splitting in Rydberg

The results of the fifth CIPM key comparison in the area of vibration, here concerning sinusoidal acceleration, are presented. This comparison was intended to build the foundation for subsequent regional key comparisons over the extended frequency range
