Efficient polarization of high-angular-momentum systems
Simon M. Rochester, Konrad SzymaÅski, Mark Raizen +3
We propose methods of optical pumping that are applicable to open, high-angular-momentum transitions in atoms and molecules, for which conventional optical pumping would lead to si…

Light, the universe, and everything -- 12 Herculean tasks for quantum cowboys and black diamond skiers
Girish Agarwal, Roland Allen, Iva Bezdekova +29
The Winter Colloquium on the Physics of Quantum Electronics (PQE) has been a seminal force in quantum optics and related areas since 1971. It is rather mindboggling to recognize ho…

Surface scattering of atoms for high-sensitivity spectroscopy
V. J. Ajith, Aaron Barr, Mark Raizen
High-sensitivity laser spectroscopy is integral to applications like atomic clocks, quantum computers, and chemical sensing. Lowering atomic temperature decreases spectral Doppler…
