Spectroscopy of photoionization from the 1E singlet state in nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond

October 17, 2024
Author(s)
Sean Blakley, Thuc Mai, Stephen Moxim, Jason Ryan, Adam Biacchi, Angela Hight Walker, Robert McMichael
The 1E—1A1 singlet manifold of the negatively charged nitrogen vacancy (NV −) center in diamond plays a central role in the quantum information and quantum sensing applications of the NV − center. However, the energy of this manifold within the diamond

Fast Ground State to Ground State Separation of Small Ion Crystals

October 10, 2024
Author(s)
Tyler Gugliemo, Dietrich Leibfried, Stephen Libby, Daniel Slichter
Rapid separation of linear crystals of trapped ions into different subsets is critical for realizing trapped ion quantum computing architectures where ions are rearranged in trap arrays to achieve all-to-all connectivity between qubits. We introduce a

Path-integral calculation of the third dielectric virial coefficient of helium based on ab initio three-body polarizability and dipole surfaces

October 10, 2024
Author(s)
Giovanni Garberoglio, Allan H. Harvey, Jakub Lang, Michal Przybytek, Michal Lesiuk, Bogumil Jeziorski
We develop a surface for the electric dipole moment of three interacting helium atoms and use it, together with state-of-the-art potential and polarizability surfaces, to compute the third dielectric virial coefficient, Cε, for both 4He and 3He isotopes

Gated InAs quantum dots embedded in surface acoustic wave cavities for low-noise optomechanics

October 8, 2024
Author(s)
Zixuan Wang, Ryan DeCrescent, Poolad Imany, Joseph Bush, Sae Woo Nam, Richard Mirin, Kevin L. Silverman
Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) are promising optomechanical elements due to their excellent photonic properties and sensitivity to local strain fields. Microwave-frequency modulation of photons scattered from these efficient quantum emitters has

Cryogenic Sapphire Optical Reference Cavity with 1 x 10^-16 fractional instability

October 2, 2024
Author(s)
Jose Valencia, George Iskandr, Nicholas Nardelli, David Leibrandt, David Hume
The frequency stability of a laser locked to an optical reference cavity is fundamentally limited by thermal noise in the cavity length, caused by local thermal fluctuations of the strain and index of refraction of the cavity components. These fluctuations

Free-form dual-comb spectroscopy for compressive sensing and imaging

September 30, 2024
Author(s)
Esther Baumann, Fabrizio Giorgetta, Nathan Newbury, Ian Coddington, Simon Potvin, JEAN-DANIEL DESCHENES
Time-programmable frequency combs enable new measurement paradigms for dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) that are free of many of the constraints found in traditional DCS. As opposed to fixing the repetition rate offset between combs, free-form DCS uses full

Rydberg states of alkali atoms in atomic vapor as SI-traceable field probes and communications receivers

September 16, 2024
Author(s)
Noah Schlossberger, Samuel Berweger, Nikunjkumar Prajapati, Andrew Rotunno, Alexandra Artusio-Glimpse, Matthew Simons, Abrar Sheikh, Eric Norrgard, Stephen Eckel, Christopher Holloway
Rydberg states of alkali atoms are highly sensitive to electric fields because their electron wavefunction has a large spatial extent, leading to large polarizabilities for static fields and large transition dipole moments for time-varying fields. Over the

Calibration of Autler-Townes based electrometry in Rydberg states of alkali atoms

August 30, 2024
Author(s)
Noah Schlossberger, Nikunjkumar Prajapati, Alexandra Artusio-Glimpse, Samuel Berweger, Matthew Simons, William Watterson, Dangka Shylla, Christopher Holloway
Highly excited states of alkali atoms are a powerful tool for making SI-traceable electric field measurements without the need for an external reference. However, the calibration of these measurements suffers from ambiguity in which transition dipole

Wafer-scale fabrication of evacuated alkali vapor cells

August 28, 2024
Author(s)
Yang Li, Matthew Hummon, Susan Schima, John Kitching, DONGGYU SOHN
We describe a process for fabricating a wafer-scale array of alkali metal vapor cells with low residual gas pressure. We show that by etching long, thin channels between the cells on the Si wafer surface, the residual gas pressure in the evacuated vapor

Spectroscopy of laser cooling transitions in MgF

August 23, 2024
Author(s)
Nickolas Pilgram, Benjamin Baldwin, David La Mantia, Stephen Eckel, Eric Norrgard
We measure the complete set of transition frequencies necessary to laser cool and trap MgF molecules. Specifically, we report the frequency of multiple low $J$ transitions of the $X^2\Sigma^+(v^\prime\prime}=0,1) \rightarrow A^2\Pi_1⁄2(v^\prime=0)$, $X^2

Jenny Wu, Pan-Yu Hou, Stephen Erickson, Adam Brandt, Yong Wan, Giorgio Zarantonello, Daniel Cole, Andrew C. Wilson, Daniel Slichter, Dietrich Leibfried
Cooling of atomic motion is a crucial tool for many branches of atomic physics, ranging from fundamental physics explorations to quantum information and sensing. For trapped ions, electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT) cooling has received

Clock-line-mediated Sisyphus Cooling

July 31, 2024
Author(s)
Jacob Siegel, Benjamin Hunt, Tanner Grogan, Youssef Hassan, Kyle Beloy, Roger Brown, Andrew Ludlow, Chun-Chia Chen, Kurt Gibble
We demonstrate sub-recoil Sisyphus cooling using the long-lived 3P0 clock state in alkaline-earthlike ytterbium. A 1388 -nm optical standing wave nearly resonant with the 3P0→3D1 transition creates a spatially periodic light shift of the 3P0 clock state
