Effects of Inhomogeneity on the Spectrum of the Mott-Insulator State

December 1, 2003
Author(s)
G Pupillo, Eite Tiesinga, Carl J. Williams
We investigate the existence of quantum quasi phase transitions for an ensemble of ultracold bosons in a one-dimensional optical lattice, performing exact diagonalizations of the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. When an external parabolic potential is added to

Ab Initio Calculation of the KRb Dipole Moments

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Paul S. Julienne, Eite Tiesinga
The relativistic configuration interaction valence bond method has been used to calculate permanent and transition electric dipole moments of the KRb heteronuclear molecule as a function of internuclear separation. The permanent dipole moment of the ground

Purely-Long-Range Bound States of He (2s 3 S) + He(2p 3 P)

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
V Venturi, P J. Leo, Eite Tiesinga, Carl J. Williams, I B. Whittingham
We predict the presence and positions of purely-long-range bound states of 4He (2s3S) + 4He (2p3P) near the2s3S1 + 2p3P0, 1 atomic limits. The results of the full multichannel and approximate models are compared, and we assess the sensitivity of the bound

Two-Color Photoassociation Spectroscopy of the Lowest Triplet Potential of Na 2

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
L E. de Araujo, J D. Weinstein, S D. Gensemer, F K. Fatemi, Kevin Jones, Paul D. Lett, Eite Tiesinga
We have performed a type of Autler-Townes spectroscopy to locate a number of rovibrational hyperfine levels of the a ^3^ς + u potential, the lowest triplet potential of the Na 2 dimer. The spectroscopy starts with the photoassociation of ultracold atoms in

Ultracold Collision Properties of Metastable Alkaline-Earth Atoms

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
A Derevianko, S. G. Porsev, Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
Ultra-cold collisions of spin-polarized Mg, Ca, and Sr in the metastable 3P2 excited state are investigated. We show the existence of purely long-range potentials, determine the scattering length, and estimate the collisional loss rate as a function of

Intensity Effects in Ultracold Photoassociation Line Shapes

December 1, 2002
Author(s)
A Simoni, Paul S. Julienne, Eite Tiesinga, Carl J. Williams
We derive ultracold atom-atom photoassociation line shapes valid for intense light fields and investigate laser power effects in sodium and rubidium photoassociation to the purely long range 0g- symmetry state. We consider intensities up to few hundreds W

Ultracold Ground-State Molecule Production in Sodium

November 1, 2002
Author(s)
F K. Fatemi, Kevin Jones, Paul D. Lett, Eite Tiesinga
We have observed the formation of ground state Na 2 molecules via the spontaneous decay of excited molecules created by the photoassociation of ultracold atoms. We measure the energies of ground state molecules formed in three hyperfine components of the

Measurement of the Zero Crossing in a Feshbach Resonance of Fermionic 6 Li

October 1, 2002
Author(s)
K M. O'Hara, S L. Hemmer, M E. Granade, M E. Gehm, J E. Thomas, V Venturi, Eite Tiesinga, Carl J. Williams
We measure a zero crossing in the scattering length of a mixture of the two lowest hyperfine states of 6Li. To locate the zero crossing, we monitor the decrease in temperature and atom number arising from evaporation in a CO2 laser trap as a function of

Predissociations in the 0 u + and 1 g States of K 2

October 1, 2002
Author(s)
T Bergeman, Paul S. Julienne, Carl J. Williams, Eite Tiesinga, M R. Manaa, H Wang, P L. Gould, W C. Stwalley
Recently Wang, Gould and Stwalley showed by exciting atomic fragments that predissociation occurs in the Ig and O + u states of K2. In this study, we supplement the interpretation given in the original report with a more detaileddiscussion. The

Scattering Length of the Ground-State Mg+Mg Collision

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
Eite Tiesinga, Svetlana A. Kotochigova, Paul S. Julienne
We have constructed the $XA I \Sigma_g^+ $ potential for the collision between two ground state Mg atoms andanalyzed the effect of uncertainties in the shape of the potential on scattering properties at ultra-cold temperatures.This potential reproduces the

Photoassociation of Sodium in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

March 1, 2002
Author(s)
C R. McKenzie, J Denschlag, H Heffner, A Browaeys, L E. de Araujo, F K. Fatemi, Kevin Jones, J E. Simsarian, D Cho, A Simoni, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne, Kristian Helmerson, Paul D. Lett, S L. Rolston, William D. Phillips
We report on the formation of ultra-cold Na2 molecules using single-photon photoassociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate. The photoassociation rate, linewidth and light shift of the J = 1, v = 135 vibrational level of the A^1)Sigma^+_u molecular bound

Quantum Encounters of the Cold Kind

March 1, 2002
Author(s)
K Burnett, Paul S. Julienne, Paul D. Lett, Eite Tiesinga, Carl J. Williams
Ultra cold atomic collisions have a broad impact in experimental and theoretical atomic physics. These encounters occur in a domain where the quantum mechanical aspects of the interacting particles are manifest, since the de Broglie wavelength is enormous

Magnetic-Field Imaging of Weakly Bound Levels of the Ground-State Na 2 Dimer

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
T Laue, Eite Tiesinga, C Samuelis, H Knockel, E Tiemann
We measured in a molecular beam experiment the magnetic field dependence of the last bound levels of the X 1Σg + and a 3Σ +u potentials close to the 3s+3s asymptote of Na 2. The field behavior of these levels in an external magnetic field differs for even

Optimizing a Phase Gate Using Quantum Interference

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
E Charron, Eite Tiesinga, F H. Mies, Carl J. Williams
A controlled interference is proposed to reduce, by two orders of magnitude, the decoherence of a quantum gate for which the gate fidelity is limited by coupling to states other than the |0> and |1> qubit states. This phenomenon is demonstrated in an
