The Spectrum and Term Analysis of Singly-Ionized Manganese

January 13, 2021
Author(s)
Florence Liggins, J C. Pickering, Gillian Nave, Jacob W. Ward, Wan-U Lydia Tchang-Brillet
An extensive analysis of the Mn spectrum was carried out using high-resolution Fourier transform (FT) and grating spectroscopy of Mn-Ne and Mn-Ar hollow cathode discharge sources, over the range 82 nm to 5500 nm (1820 cm −1 to 121728 cm −1 ). Spectral

State Readout of a Trapped Ion Qubit Using a Trap-integrated Superconducting Photon Detector

January 6, 2021
Author(s)
Susanna L. Todaro, Varun Verma, Katherine C. McCormick, David T. Allcock, Richard Mirin, David J. Wineland, Sae Woo Nam, Andrew C. Wilson, Dietrich Leibfried, Daniel Slichter
We detect fluorescence photons emitted by a single $^9$Be$^+$ ion confined in a surface- electrode rf ion trap, using a superconducting nanowire single photon detector integrated directly into the trap. We achieve a qubit readout fidelity of 99.91(1) %

Complete collision data set for electrons scattering on molecular hydrogen and itsisotopologues: I. Fully vibrationally-resolved electronic excitation of H 2 (X 1 ? g + ).

January 1, 2021
Author(s)
Liam H. Scarlett, D Fursa, Mark C. Zammit, I Bray, Yuri Ralchenko, Kayla D. Davie
We present a comprehensive set of vibrationally-resolved cross sections for electron-impact electronic excitation of molecular hydrogen suitable for implementation in collisional-radiative models. The adiabatic-nuclei molecular convergent close-coupling

Measurement of mass of aerosol particles

January 1, 2021
Author(s)
Kevin J. Coakley, Robert Hagwood, Kensei Ehara, Nobuhiko FUKUSHIMA, Kittichote WORACHOTEKAMJORN, Naoko TAJIMA, Hiromu SAKURAI
An aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM) which classifies aerosol particles according to their mass has been developed. Mass distributions of aerosol particles can be measured by the APM combined with a particle counting device. Particle mass that can be

Distributing Time and Frequency Information

December 15, 2020
Author(s)
Judah Levine
This chapter discusses the statistics that are used to characterize the performance of clocks, oscillators, and the networks that are used to calibrate and synchronize and calibrate clocks and oscillators by means of data received from global navigation

Wafer-Level Fabrication of Alkali Vapor Cells Using In-Situ Atomic Deposition

December 14, 2020
Author(s)
Douglas Bopp, Vincent N. Maurice, John Kitching
We demonstrate a new technique for filling microfabricated silicon and glass cavities with alkali vapors at the wafer-scale. A single etched silicon wafer contains an array of cavities containing alkali precursor materials offset laterally from the cell

Lifetime-Limited Interrogation of Two Independent 27Al+ Clocks using Correlation Spectroscopy

December 9, 2020
Author(s)
Ethan Clements, May E. Kim, Kaifeng Cui, Aaron M. Hankin, Samuel M. Brewer, Jose Valencia, Jwo-Sy Chen, Chin-wen Chou, David Leibrandt, David Hume
Laser decoherence limits the stability of optical clocks by broadening the observable resonance linewidths and adding noise during the dead time between clock probes. Correlation spectroscopy avoids these limitations by measuring correlated atomic

Symmetry breaking and error correction in open quantum systems

December 8, 2020
Author(s)
Simon K. Lieu, Ron Belyansky, Jeremy T. Young, Rex Lundgren, Victor Albert, Alexey Gorshkov
Symmetry-breaking transitions are a well-understood phenomenon of closed quantum systems in quantum optics, condensed matter, and high energy physics. However, symmetry breaking in open systems is less thoroughly understood, in part due to the richer

Simplify your life

December 2, 2020
Author(s)
Gordon Drake, Eite Tiesinga
Within the Hartree atomic unit systems, the Schrödinger equation becomes parameter free. But there's more to it than making a student's life easier, as Gordon Drake and Eite Tiesinga recount.

Phase-coherent sensing of the center-of-mass motion of trapped-ion crystals

November 9, 2020
Author(s)
Matthew Affolter, Kevin Gilmore, Elena Jordan, John Bollinger
Measurements of the center-of-mass motion of a trapped-ion crystal that are phase- coherent with an external force are reported. These experiments are conducted far from the trap motional frequency on a two-dimensional trapped ion crystal of approximately
