Mechanical Sensors for Planck-scale Dark Matter Searches via Long-range Forces

February 14, 2025
Author(s)
Jacob Taylor, Juehang Qin, Dorian Amaral, sunil bhave, Erqian Cai, Daniel Carney, Raphael Lang, Shengchao Li, Claire Marvinney, Alberto Marino, Jared Newton, Christopher Tunnell
Dark matter candidates with masses around the Planck-scale are theoretically well-motivated and have been the subject of numerous studies; it has also been suggested that it might be possible to search for dark matter solely via gravitational interactions

Effect of ''glancing'' collisions in the cold atom vacuum standard

February 12, 2025
Author(s)
Stephen Eckel, Daniel Barker, James A. Fedchak, Jacek Klos, Julia Scherschligt, Eite Tiesinga
We theoretically investigate the effect of "glancing" collisions on the ultra-high-vacuum pressure readings of the cold-atom vacuum standard (CAVS), based on either ultracold $^7$Li or $^87}$Rb atoms. Here, glancing collisions are those collisions between

Cryogenic photonic resonator with 10-17/s drift

February 11, 2025
Author(s)
Wei Zhang, William Milner, Jun Ye, Scott Papp
Thermal noise is the predominant instability in the provision of ultrastable laser frequency by reference to a cavity. Reducing the thermal-noise limit of a cavity means either making it larger to spread thermal fluctuations, reducing the sensitivity of

Nanophotonic oscillators for laser conversion beyond an octave

February 11, 2025
Author(s)
Grant Brodnik, Haixin Liu, David Carlson, Jennifer Black, Scott Papp
Many uses of lasers place the highest importance on access to specific wavelength bands. For example, mobilizing optical-atomic clocks for a leap in sensing requires compact lasers at frequencies spread across the visible and near infrared. Integrated

Photonic Millimeter-wave Generation Beyond the Cavity Thermal Limit

February 11, 2025
Author(s)
William Groman, Igor Kudelin, Takuma Nakamura, Yifan Liu, Charles McLemore, Franklyn Quinlan, Scott Diddams, Dahyeon Lee, Megan Kelleher, Joel Guo, Warren Jin, John Bowers
With the next generation of telecommunications and radar/navigation upon us, moving from the microwave to the higher bandwidth, millimeter-wave domain has become ever relevant. Simultaneously, the burgeoning field of photonic integrated chips has yielded a

Variation of radiometric throughput with simple perturbations

February 3, 2025
Author(s)
Eric Shirley
This work considers the effects of changes of distance, centering and tilting of optical elements on radiometric throughput. Analytical formulas for leading-order effects are compared to numerical calculations for validation purposes.

International Comparison CCQM-P229: Pilot Study to Measure Absolute Line Intensities of Selected 12C16O Transitions

January 24, 2025
Author(s)
Joseph Hodges, Zachary Reed, Katarzyna Bielska, Manfred Birk, Ruimin Guo, Gang Li, Jeong Sik Lim, Daniel Lisak, Georg Wagner
We present primary spectroscopic measurements of line intensities in the 3-0 vibrational band of 12C16O. This international measurement campaign was organized under the auspices of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance (CCQM) and involved six

Fabrication and characterization of low-loss Al/Si/Al parallel plate capacitors for superconducting quantum information applications

January 22, 2025
Author(s)
Raymond Simmonds, Sudhir Sahu, Trevyn Larson, Florent Lecocq, Tongyu Zhao, Anthony McFadden
The application of parallel plate capacitors composed of aluminum-contacted, crystalline silicon fins for use in superconducting circuits is explored by evaluating the performance of superconducting lumped element resonators and transmon qubits. High

Lattice Light Shift Evaluations In a Dual-Ensemble Yb Optical Lattice Clock

January 22, 2025

Tobias Bothwell, Roger Brown, Benjamin Hunt, Jacob Siegel, Tanner Grogan, Youssef Hassan, Kyle Beloy, Andrew Ludlow, Kurt Gibble, Takumi Kobayashi, Marianna Safronova, Sergey Porsev
In state-of-the-art optical lattice clocks, beyond-electric-dipole polarizability terms lead to a break-down of magic wavelength trapping. In this Letter, we report a novel approach to evaluate lattice light shifts, specifically addressing recent
