Dynamic characterization of an alkali-ion-battery as a source for laser-cooled atoms

April 14, 2020
Author(s)
James P. McGilligan, Kaitlin R. Moore, Songbai Kang, R. Mott, A. Mis, C. Roper, Elizabeth Donley, John Kitching
We investigate a solid-state, reversible, alkali-ion-battery (AIB) capable of regulating the density of alkali atoms in a vacuum system used for the production of laser-cooled atoms. The cold-atom sample can be used with in-vacuum chronoamperometry as a

Mid-Infrared Frequency Comb Generation and Spectroscopy with Few-Cycle Pulses and hd2TH Nonlinear Optics

April 1, 2020
Author(s)
Alexander Lind, Abijith S. Kowligy, Henry R. Timmers, Flavio Caldas da Cruz, Nima Nader, Myles C. Silfies, Thomas K. Allison, Scott Papp, Scott Diddams
The mid-infrared atmospheric window of 3–5.5 μm holds valuable information regarding molecular composition and function for fundamental and applied spectroscopy. Using a robust, mode-locked fiberlaser source of 11 fs pulses in the near infrared, we

Frequency-comb spectroscopy on pure quantum states of a single molecular ion

March 27, 2020
Author(s)
Chin-wen Chou, Alejandra L. Collopy, Christoph Kurz, Yiheng Lin, Michael E. Harding, Philipp N. Plessow, Tara M. Fortier, Scott A. Diddams, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David R. Leibrandt
Spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying molecular properties and is commonly performed on large thermal ensembles of molecules that are perturbed by motional shifts and interactions with the environment and one another, resulting in convoluted spectra

NIST Time and Frequency Bulletin

March 20, 2020
Author(s)
Kelsey A. Rodriguez
The Time and Frequency Bulletin provides information on performance of time scales and a variety of broadcasts (and related information) to users of the NIST services.

A chip-scale optical frequency reference for the telecommunication band based on acetylene

March 16, 2020
Author(s)
Roy Zektzer, Matthew T. Hummon, Liron Stern, Yefim Barash, Noa Mazurski, John Kitching, Levy Uriel
Lasers precisely stabilized to known transitions between energy levels in simple, well-isolated quantum systems such as atoms and molecules are highly desired for myriad of applications ranging from precise measurements to optical communications. The

Twist Angle-Dependent Atomic Reconstruction and Moire Patterns in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterostructures

March 13, 2020
Author(s)
Matthew R. Rosenberger, Hsun-Jen Chuang, Vladimir Oleshko, Madeleine Phillips, Kathleen M. McCreary, Saujan V. Sivaram, C. Stephen Hellberg, Berend T. Jonker
Van der Waals layered materials, such as the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are an exciting class of materials with weak interlayer bonding which enables one to create so-called van der Waals heterostructures (vdWH). One promising attribute of

Certified Quantum Measurement of Majorana Fermions

March 12, 2020
Author(s)
Emanuel H. Knill, Abu Ashik Md. Irfan, Karl H. Mayer, Gerardo Ortiz
We present a quantum self-testing protocol to certify measurements of fermion parity involving Majorana fermion modes. We show that observing a set of ideal measurement statistics implies anticommutativity of the implemented Majorana fermion parity
