Attractive force on atoms due to blackbody radiation
Philipp Haslinger, Matt Jaffe, Victoria Xu +5
Objects at finite temperature emit thermal radiation with an outward energy-momentum flow, which exerts an outward radiation pressure. At room temperature, a cesium atom scatters o…
A cavity array microscope for parallel single-atom interfacing
Adam L. Shaw, Anna Soper, Danial Shadmany +8
Neutral atom arrays and optical cavity QED systems have developed in parallel as central pillars of modern experimental quantum science. While each platform has demonstrated except…
A Cavity Load Lock Apparatus for Next-Generation Quantum Optics Experiments
Chuan Yin, Henry Ando, Mark Stone +5
Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), the study of the interaction between quantized emitters and photons confined in an optical cavity, is an important tool for quantum science in…
Optical mode conversion via spatiotemporally modulated atomic susceptibility
Claire Baum, Matt Jaffe, Lukas Palm +2
Light is an excellent medium for both classical and quantum information transmission due to its speed, manipulability, and abundant degrees of freedom into which to encode informat…
Raman transitions driven by phase-modulated light in a cavity atom interferometer
Sofus L. Kristensen, Matt Jaffe, Victoria Xu +2
Atom interferometers in optical cavities benefit from strong laser intensities and high-quality wavefronts. The laser frequency pairs that are needed for driving Raman transitions…
Aberrated optical cavities
Matt Jaffe, Lukas Palm, Claire Baum +2
Optical cavities are an enabling technology of modern quantum science: from their essential role in the operation of lasers, to applications as fly-wheels in atomic clocks and inte…
Splitting the Raman beamsplitter
Matt Jaffe, Victoria Xu, Philipp Haslinger +2
We present an atom interferometry technique in which the beamsplitter is split into two separate operations. A microwave pulse first creates a spin-state superposition, before opti…
Probing gravity by holding atoms for 20 seconds
Victoria Xu, Matt Jaffe, Cristian D. Panda +3
Atom interferometers are powerful tools for both measurements in fundamental physics and inertial sensing applications. Their performance, however, has been limited by the availabl…
Testing sub-gravitational forces on atoms from a miniature, in-vacuum source mass
Matt Jaffe, Philipp Haslinger, Victoria Xu +5
Gravity is the weakest fundamental interaction and the only one that has not been measured at the particle level. Traditional experimental methods, from astronomical observations t…
Atom-interferometry constraints on dark energy
Paul Hamilton, Matt Jaffe, Philipp Haslinger +3
If dark energy --- which drives the accelerated expansion of the universe --- consists of a light scalar field, it might be detectable as a "fifth force" between normal-matter obje…
Cavity QED in a High NA Resonator
Danial Shadmany, Aishwarya Kumar, Anna Soper +8
From fundamental studies of light-matter interaction to applications in quantum networking and sensing, cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) provides a platform-crossing toolbox to…
Atom interferometry in an optical cavity
Paul Hamilton, Matt Jaffe, Justin M. Brown +3
We propose and demonstrate a new scheme for atom interferometry, using light pulses inside an optical cavity as matter wave beamsplitters. The cavity provides power enhancement, sp…
Understanding and suppressing backscatter in optical resonators
Matt Jaffe, Lukas Palm, Claire Baum +3
Optical cavities have found widespread use in interfacing to quantum emitters. Concerns about backreflection and resulting loss, however, have largely prevented the placement of op…
Chameleon Dark Energy and Atom Interferometry
Benjamin Elder, Justin Khoury, Philipp Haslinger +3
Atom interferometry experiments are searching for evidence of chameleon scalar fields with ever-increasing precision. As experiments become more precise, so too must theoretical pr…
