Coherence and Raman sideband cooling of a single atom in an optical tweezer
J. D. Thompson, T. G. Tiecke, A. S. Zibrov +2
We investigate quantum control of a single atom in an optical tweezer trap created by a tightly focused optical beam. We show that longitudinal polarization components in the dipol…
A Distributed GUI-based Computer Control System for Atomic Physics Experiments
Aviv Keshet, Wolfgang Ketterle
Atomic physics experiments often require a complex sequence of precisely timed computer controlled events. A distributed GUI-based control system designed with such experiments in…
Nanoplasmonic Lattices for Ultracold atoms
M. Gullans, T. Tiecke, D. E. Chang +5
We propose to use sub-wavelength confinement of light associated with the near field of plasmonic systems to create nanoscale optical lattices for ultracold atoms. Our approach com…
Micromotion-induced Limit to Atom-Ion Sympathetic Cooling in Paul Traps
Marko Cetina, Andrew T. Grier, Vladan Vuletić
We present and derive analytic expressions for a fundamental limit to the sympathetic cooling of ions in radio-frequency traps using cold atoms. The limit arises from the work done…
Collective state measurement of mesoscopic ensembles with single-atom resolution
Hao Zhang, Robert McConnell, Senka Ćuk +4
For mesoscopic ensembles containing 100 or more atoms we measure the total atom number and the number of atoms in a specific hyperfine state with single-atom resolution. The measur…
Efficient method for quantum calculations of molecule - molecule scattering properties in a magnetic field
Y. V. Suleimanov, T. V. Tscherbul, R. V. Krems
We show that the cross sections for molecule - molecule collisions in the presence of an external field can be computed efficiently using a total angular momentum basis, defined ei…
