Fluorescent biomarkers are used to detect target molecules within inhomogeneous populations of cells. When these biomarkers are found in trace amounts it becomes extremely challenging to detect their presence in a flow cytometer. Here, we present a
A new difference frequency method to perform terahertz dual-comb spectroscopy is reported based on electro-optic phase modulators (EOMs) and two free-running lasers. A variation of a near-IR interleaving scheme we recently reported has been developed to
We describe an efficient numerical method for simulating the dynamics of interacting spin ensembles in the presence of dephasing and decay. The method builds on the discrete truncated Wigner approximation for isolated systems, which combines the mean-

Gold and platinum have the face-centered-cubic crystal structure, are considered noble metals, and differ by one in atomic number. Near-edge M4,5 x-ray absorption and resonant M4,5N6,7N6,7 Auger spectroscopy reveal "dark" edges and a photon-energy

We are in the process of re-evaluating NIST-F1, the cesium fountain primary frequency standard at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Here, we describe an initial study of the frequency bias caused by the distributed cavity phase

The M-intrashell spectra from Co-like Yb$^43+}$ through Na-like Yb$^59+}$ ions produced in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have been studied in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range. A few N-intrashell

We present a rigorous framework for fully quantum calculation of the third dielectric virial coefficient C_eps(T) of noble gases, including exchange effects. The quantum efects are taken into account with the path-integral Monte Carlo method. Calculations

In cavity-based axion dark matter detectors, quantum noise remains a primary barrier to achieving the scan rate necessary for a comprehensive search of the axion parameter space. Here we introduce a method of scan rate enhancement in which an axion

The recent redefinition of the SI bolsters the push towards quantum-based sensors. Rydberg atoms provide a natural link between atomic quantities and electromagnetic fields, where direct absolute measurements can be challenging. We review recent

We demonstrate the use of a single trapped ion as a sensor to probe electric-field noise from interchangeable test surfaces. As proof of principle, we measure the magnitude and distance dependence of electric-field noise from two ion-trap-like samples with

We propose a quantum enhanced interferometric protocol for gravimetry and force sensing using cold atoms in an optical lattice supported by a standing-wave cavity. By loading the atoms in partially delocalized Wannier-Stark states, it is possible to cancel

We demonstrate a simple stacked scheme that enables absorption imaging through a hole in the surface of a grating magneto-optical trap (GMOT) chip, placed immediately below a micro-fabricated vacuum cell. The imaging scheme is capable of overcoming the
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

In this work we demonstrate the use of a Rydberg atom-based sensor for determining the angle-of- arrival of an incident radio-frequency (RF) wave or signal. The technique uses electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in Rydberg atomic vapor in

Quantum transport simulations are rapidly evolving, including the development of well–controlled tensor network techniques for many– body transport calculations. One particularly powerful approach combines matrix product states with extended reservoirs —

The Ramsey sequence is a canonical example of a quantum phase determination for a spin qubit, but when readout fidelity is low, as with NV centers, measurement efficiency can be increased by focusing measurement resources on the most productive settings

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

Quantum states can acquire a geometric phase called the Berry phase after adiabatically traversing a closed loop, which depends on the path not the rate of motion. The Berry phase is analogous to the Aharonov–Bohm phase derived from the electromagnetic

Quantum transport simulations require a level of discretization, often achieved through an explicit representation of the electronic reservoirs. These representations should converge to the same continuum limit, though there is a trade-off between a given
