Engineering Rydberg-pair interactions in divalent atoms with hyperfine-split ionization thresholds
Frederic Hummel, Sebastian Weber, Johannes Moegerle +5
Quantum information processing with neutral atoms relies on Rydberg excitation for entanglement generation. While the use of heavy divalent or open-shell elements, such as strontiu…
Isotope Shifts in the Metastable aF and Excited yG Terms of Atomic Titanium
Andrew O. Neely, Kayleigh Cassella, Scott Eustice +1
We measure and analyze the isotope shifts the multiplet of transitions between the metastable aF and excited yG terms of neutral titanium by probing a titanium vapo…
A 40 W, 780 nm laser system with compensated dual beam splitters for atom interferometry
Minjeong Kim, Remy Notermans, Chris Overstreet +3
We demonstrate a narrow-linewidth 780 nm laser system with up to 40 W power and a frequency modulation bandwidth of 230 MHz. Efficient overlap on nonlinear optical elements combine…
Laser Cooling of Transition Metal Atoms
Scott Eustice, Kayleigh Cassella, Dan Stamper-Kurn
We propose the application of laser cooling to a number of transition-metal atoms, allowing numerous bosonic and fermionic atomic gases to be cooled to ultra-low temperatures. The…
