The hydrogen sulfide trimer and tetramer anions, (H2S)3– and (H2S)4–, were generated by Rydberg electron transfer and studied via a synergy between velocity-map imaging anion photoelectron spectroscopy and high-level quantum chemical calculations. The

Multiphoton and tunneling ionization are fundamental processes in strong field laser-matter interactions, and are integral to applications such as high harmonic generation, filamentation, and laser plasma production. However, measurements of ionization

We have computed the thermally-averaged total, elastic rate coefficient for the collision of a room-temperature helium atom with an ultra-cold lithium atom. This rate coefficient has been computed as part of the characterization of a cold atom vacuum
This review article discusses a few theoretical and numerical approaches that have been successfully used to treat electron scattering and photoionization of atoms and molecules and the interaction of those systems with intense, short-pulse electromagnetic

This work presents 97 remeasured Fe V wavelengths (1200 Å to 1600 Å) and 123 remeasured Ni V wavelengths (1200 Å to 1400 Å) with uncertainties of approximately 2 mÅ. An additional 67 remeasured Fe V wavelengths and 72 remeasured Ni V wavelengths with

Many remote-entanglement protocols rely on the generation and interference of photons produced by nodes within a quantum network. Quantum networks based on heterogeneous nodes provide a versatile platform by utilizing the complimentary strengths of the
We present synthetic spectra for light emission following charge exchange (CX) recombination for W64+ ions colliding with neutral atomic hydrogen at 100 keV/u and 500 keV/u, of relevance to the plasma diagnostics of the international experimental fusion

Photonic quantum technology is creating breakthroughs in both fundamental quantum science and applications such as quantum communication, computation and sensing. Regarded as artificial atoms due to the discrete energy levels they support, semiconductor

The neutron spin-orbit interaction, which results from the interaction of a moving neutron's magnetic dipole moment (MDM) with the atomic electric fields, induces a small rotation of the neutron's spin in one Bragg reflection. In our experiment neutrons

We quantum-simulated particle-antiparticle pair production with a bosonic quantum gas in an optical lattice by emulating the requisite 1d Dirac equation and uniform electric field. We emulated field strengths far in excess of Sauter-Schwinger's limit for

Extreme-ultraviolet spectra of the L-shell ions of highly charged yttrium Y26+ - Y36+ were observed in the electron beam ion trap of the National Institute of Standards and Technology using a flat-field grazing-incidence spectrometer in the wavelength

With in-situ electron beam lithography we deterministically integrate single InAs quantum dots into heterogeneous GaAs/Si3N4 waveguide circuits. Through microphotoluminescence spectroscopy, we show on-chip quantum dot emission of single, postselected

Advances in sensing technology raise the possibility of creating neural interfaces that can more effectively restore or repair neural function and reveal fundamental properties of neural information processing. To realize the potential of these

We describe our progress in the development of a novel gas flow standard using the acoustic and microwave resonances of a 1.85 m3, nearly-spherical, steel vessel at pressures up to 7 MPa. For flow calibrations using pressure and acoustic frequency
The famous Cowan's book "The Theory of Atomic Structure and Spectra" published in 1981 and his suite of computer codes based on it continue to be highly influential in atomic physics and many other researchareas. As of September 2018, there are more than

We examine the performance of various time propagation schemes using a one-dimensional model of the hydrogen atom. In this model, the exact coulomb potential is replaced by a soft-core interaction. The model has been shown to be a reasonable representation

We present a compact, cost-effective, and all-digital implementation of a scanning transfer cavity lock (STCL) for long term laser frequency stabilization. An interrupt-based, event-centric state machine is employed to realize the STCL, with the capability

Quantum simulations with ultracold atoms typically create atomic wavefunctions with structure at optical length scales, where direct imaging suffers from the diffraction limit. In analogy to advances in optical microscopy for biological applications, we

Penning traps, with their ability to control planar crystals of tens to hundreds of ions, are versatile quantum simulators. Thermal occupations of the motional drumhead modes, transverse to the plane of the ion crystal, degrade the quality of quantum
