Atomic vapors are a crucial platform for precision metrology but in their simplest implementation, a thermal vapor, the intrinsic optical resonances are broadened due to the random and isotropic thermal motion of the atoms. By structuring the container of

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

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

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
