By enabling precise control over longitudinal velocity, Stark deceleration has become an important tool for studying cold collisions. However, the information about transverse motion is often hard to extract and to some extent beyond control. Here we

We propose a simple and generic definition of a demarcation reconciling structural and dynamic frameworks when combined with the entropy scaling framework. This crossover line between gas- and liquid-like behaviors is defined as the curve for which an

We present protocols for dissipative entanglement of three trapped-ion qubits, and we discuss in detail a scheme that uses sympathetic cooling as the dissipation mechanism. This scheme relies on tailored destructive interference to generate one of six

Dipole-dipole interactions lead to frequency shifts which are expected to limit the performance of next generation atomic clocks. In this work, we compute dipolar frequency shifts accounting for the intrinsic atomic multilevel structure in standard Ramsey

Most data in cold-atom experiments comes from images, the analysis of which is limited by our preconceptions of the patterns that could be present in the data. We focus on the well-defined case of detecting dark solitons—appearing as local density

We report the coupling of individual InAs quantum dots (QDs) to a single mode of an external-mirror optical microcavity. The external mirror is bonded to a fiber and positioned above a semiconductor sample consisting of a QD-containing GaAs layer grown
Resonant elastic scattering from InAs quantum dots (QDs) is studied by heterodyne spectroscopy. We show theoretically that heterodyne spectroscopy of a two-level quantum emitter is not sensitive to the inelastic fluorescence component. In practice, we

Topological insulators could profoundly impact the fields of spintronics, quantum computing and low-power electronics. To enable investigations of these non-trivial phases of matter beyond the reach of present-day experiments, quantum simulations provide

A common way to evaluate electronic integrals for polyatomic molecules is to use Becke's partitioning scheme [\colorblue}J. Chem. Phys. \bf 88}, 2547 (1988)}] in conjunction with multi- center grids of comparable size. Becke's scheme, however, is efficient

We demonstrate a deterministic Purcell-enhanced single-photon source realized by integrating an atomically thin WSe2 layer with a circular Bragg grating cavity. The cavity significantly enhances the photoluminescence from the atomically thin layer, and

We quantum simulated the 2D Harper-Hofstadter (HH) lattice model in a highly elongated tube geometry—three sites in circumference—using an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. In addition to the usual transverse (out-of-plane) magnetic flux, piercing the

In cold atom experiments, each image of light refracted and absorbed by an atomic ensemble carries a remarkable amount of information. Numerous imaging techniques including absorption, fluorescence, and phase-contrast are commonly used. Other techniques
