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.

We report on observations and modeling of interspecies magnetic Feshbach resonances in dilute ultracold mixtures of open-shell alkali-metal 6 Li and closed-shell 173 Yb atoms with temperatures just above quantum degeneracy for both fermionic species
This publication is a colorful poster illustrating the relationships of the International System of Units (SI) derived units with special names and symbols and the seven traditional base units. The diagram is aligned with the BIPM SI Brochure, 9th edition

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
We study the phase-space representation of dynamics of bosons in the semiclassical regime where the occupation number of the modes is large. To this end, we employ the van Vleck-Gutzwiller propagator to obtain an approximation for the Greens function of
The definitive international reference on the International System of Units (SI) is a booklet published by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and often referred to as the BIPM SI Brochure. Entitled Le Systeme International d' Unites

On going efforts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in creating a Cold Atom Vacuum Sensor device have prompted theoretical investigations of atom-molecule collisions processes that characterize its operation. Such a device will operate

Quantum mechanical scattering resonances for colliding particles occur when a continuum scattering state couples to a discrete bound state between them. The coupling also causes the bound state to interact with itself via the continuum and leads to a shift

Cold atoms are excellent metrological tools; they currently realize SI time and, soon, SI pressure in the ultra-high (UHV) and extreme high vacuum (XHV) regimes. The development of primary, vacuum metrology based on cold atoms currently falls under the

The SU(1,1) interferometer was originally conceived as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with the beam-splitters replaced by parametric amplifiers. The parametric amplifiers produce states with correlations that result in enhanced phase sensitivity. F = 1
Laser cooled lanthanide atoms are ideal candidates with which to study strong and unconventional quantum magnetism with exotic phases. Here, we use state-of-the-art closed-coupling simulations to model quantum magnetism for pairs of ultracold spin-6 erbium

Ergodic quantum systems are often quite alike whereas non-ergodic, fractal systems are unique and display characteristic properties. In this paper we explore one of such fractal systems, weakly-bound dysprosium lanthanide molecules in an external magnetic

Described in detail is the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) special least- squares adjustment of the values of the fundamental constants carried out in the summer of 2017. Based on all relevant data available by 1 July 2017, its

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has recently begun a program to develop a primary pressure standard that is based on ultra-cold atoms, covering a pressure range of 1 × 10-6 Pa to 1 × 10-10 Pa and possibly lower. These pressures

Studies of magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances in ultracold atomic gases have predominantly been car- ried out in the zero collision-energy limit. Here, we explore above threshold collisions at well-defined energies in the vicinity of a narrow

Magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances in ultracold atomic systems are chiefly identified and characterized through time consuming atom loss spectroscopy. We describe an off-resonant dispersive optical probing technique to rapidly locate Feshbach
Quenches in isolated quantum systems are currently a subject of intense study. Here, we con- sider quantum few-mode systems that are integrable in their classical mean-field limit and become dynamically unstable after a quench of a system parameter

We theoretically investigate trapping conditions for ultracold polar molecules in optical lattices, when external magnetic and electric fields are simultaneously applied. Our results are based on an accurate electronic-structure calculation of the polar

Magnetically-tunable Feshbach resonances are an indispensable tool for experiments with atomic quantum gases. We report on twenty thus far unpublishedi Feshbach resonances and eleven further probable Feshbach resonances in spin mixtures of ultracold
We propose a numerical method using the discrete variable representation (DVR) for constructing real-valued approximate Wannier functions localized in a unit cell for both symmetric and asymmetric periodic potentials. We apply these results to finding

We show that for complex and magnetic atoms chaotic scattering behavior emerges due to anisotropic inter- action potentials and finite Zeeman coupling. This generic behavior is studied in a collaborative effort for both ultracold dysprosium and erbium
We study ultracold atoms in a double-well (DW) optical lattice and show that the low energy states of a multi-band Bose-Hubbard (BH) Hamiltonian with only pai r-wise interactions is equivalent to an effective single-band Hamiltonian with s trong three-body
We optimize a collision-induced cooling process for ultracold atoms in the nondegenerate regime. It makes use of a Feshbach resonance, instead of rf radiation in evaporative cooling, to selectively expel hot atoms from a trap. Using functional minimization

Motivated by recent experimental breakthroughs in generating spin-orbit coupling in ultracold Fermi gases using Raman laser beams, we present a systematic study of spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gases confined in a quasi-one-dimensional trap in the presence of
