Tip-enhanced Raman scattering for atomic-scale spectroscopy and imaging

October 24, 2022
Author(s)
Jeremy Schultz
Atomic scale spectroscopy provides an exceptional ability to define electronic, optical, thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties of materials at the nanoscale. At these scales, dimensional confinement can lead to new and unusual properties, where the

Periodic Table of the Elements

Author(s)
Karen Olsen
The periodic table contains NIST's latest critically evaluated data for atomic properties of the elements.

High-accuracy optical clocks based on group 16-like highly charged ions

October 3, 2022
Author(s)
Saleh Allehabi, Samuel Brewer, Vladimir Dzuba, Victor Flambaum, Kyle Beloy
We identify laser-accessible transitions in group 16-like highly charged ions as candidates for high-accuracy optical clocks, including S-, Se-, and Te-like systems. For this class of ions, the ground 3PJ fi ne structure manifold exhibits irregular

Sub-recoil clock-transition laser cooling enabling shallow optical lattice clocks

September 8, 2022
Author(s)
Xiaogang Zhang, Kyle Beloy, Youssef Hassan, William McGrew, Chun-Chia Chen, Jacob Siegel, Tanner Grogan, Andrew Ludlow
Laser cooling is a key ingredient for quantum control of atomic systems in a variety of settings. In two-valence-electron atoms, two-stage Doppler cooling is typically used to bring atoms to the μK regime. Here, we implement a pulsed radial cooling scheme

Connecting entropy scaling and density scaling

August 17, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Robin Fingerhut, Jadran Vrabec, Lorenzo Costigliola
It is shown that the residual entropy (entropy minus that of the ideal gas at the same temperature and density) is mostly synonymous with the independent variable of density scaling, identifying a direct link between these two approaches. The residual

Complete collision data set for electrons scattering on molecular hydrogen and its isotopologues: III. Vibrational excitation via electronic excitation and radiative decay.

August 10, 2022
Author(s)
Dmitry Fursa, Mark Zammit, Igor Bray, Liam Scarlett, Daniel Boyle, Yuri Ralchenko
We present cross sections for vibrational excitation via electronic excitation followed by radiative decay (ERD), for electrons scattering on all bound vibrational levels of the ground electronic state (X 1Σ+ g ) of molecular hydrogen and its isotopologues

Single-atom trapping in a metasurface-lens optical tweezer

August 1, 2022
Author(s)
Ting-Wei Hsu, Wenqi Zhu, Tobias Thiele, Mark Brown, Scott Papp, Amit Agrawal, Cindy Regal
Single neutral atoms in optical tweezers have become an important platform for quantum simulation, computing, and metrology [1-3]. With ground-up control similar to trapped ions, individual atoms can be prepared and entangled [2, 4, 5], and the scalability

Individual qubit addressing of rotating ion crystals in a Penning trap

July 25, 2022
Author(s)
Anthony M. Polloreno, Ana Maria Rey, John J. Bollinger
Trapped ions boast long coherence times, and excellent gate fidelities, making them a useful platform for quantum information processing. Scaling to larger numbers of ion qubits, potentially solved by photonic interconnects between Paul traps, or by

Floquet engineering topological Dirac bands

July 22, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Spielman, Mingwu Lu, Amilson R. Fritsch, Graham Reid, Alina Pineiro Escalera
We experimentally realized a time-periodically modulated 1D lattice for ultracold atoms featuring a pair of linear bands, each associated with a Floquet winding number: a topological invariant. These bands are spin-momentum locked and almost perfectly

Comparison of two multiplexed portable cold atom vacuum standards

Lucas Ehinger, Bishnu Acharya, Daniel Barker, James A. Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt, Eite Tiesinga, Stephen Eckel
We compare the vacuum measured by two portable cold atom vacuum standards (pCAVS) based on ultracold $^7$Li atoms. Our pCAVS devices share the same laser system and measure the vacuum concurrently. The two pCAVS together detected a leak with a rate on the

Graph Neural Network Predictions of Metal Organic Framework CO2 Adsorption Properties

July 1, 2022
Author(s)
Kamal Choudhary, Taner N. Yildirim, Daniel Siderius, A. Gilad Kusne, Austin McDannald, Diana Ortiz-Montalvo
The increasing CO$_2$ level is a critical concern and suitable materials are needed to directly capture such gases from the environment. While experimental and conventional computational methods are useful in finding such materials, they are usually slow

Robust spin relaxometry with fast adaptive Bayesian estimation

June 15, 2022
Author(s)
Michael Caouette-Mansour, Adrian Solyom, Brandon Ruffolo, Robert D. McMichael, Jack Childress (Sankey), Lilian Childress
Spin relaxometry with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond offers a spectrally selective, atomically localized, and calibrated measurement of microwave-frequency magnetic noise, presenting a versatile probe for condensed matter and biological systems

A continuum of bright and dark pulse states in a photonic-crystal resonator

June 6, 2022
Author(s)
Su-Peng Yu, Erwan Lucas, Jizhao Zang, Scott Papp
Nonlinearity is a powerful determinant of physical systems. Controlling nonlinearity leads to interesting states of matter and new applications. In optics, diverse families of continuous and discrete states arise from balance of nonlinearity and group
