Sub-part-per-trillion test of the Standard Model with atomic hydrogen

Lothar Maisenbacher, Vitaly Wirthl, Arthur Matveev +4

Quantum electrodynamics (QED), the first relativistic quantum field theory, describes light-matter interactions at a fundamental level and is one of the pillars of the Standard Mod…

High-flux cold lithium-6 and rubidium-87 atoms from compact two-dimensional magneto-optical traps

Yun-Xuan Lu, An-Wei Zhu, Christine E. Frank +2

We report a compact setup with in-series two-dimensional magneto-optical traps (2D MOTs) that provides high-flux cold lithium and rubidium atoms. Thanks to the efficient short-dist…

Generation of strong ultralow-phase-noise microwave fields with tunable ellipticity for ultracold polar molecules

Shrestha Biswas, Sebastian Eppelt, Christian Buchberger +6

Microwave(MW) fields with strong field strength, ultralow phase-noise and tunable polarization are crucial for stabilizing and manipulating ultracold polar molecules, which have em…

A general approximator for strong-field ionization rates

Manoram Agarwal, Armin Scrinzi, Vladislav S. Yakovlev

We address the long-standing problem of determining accurate, time-resolved ionization rates for atoms in strong laser fields, a quantity that is fundamental to attosecond science.…

Isotope-agnostic motional ground-state cooling of neutral Yb atoms

Ronen M. Kroeze, René A. Villela, Er Zu +2

Efficient high-fidelity ground-state cooling of motional degrees of freedom is crucial for applications in quantum simulation, computing and metrology. Here, we demonstrate direct…

Coherence of Symmetry-Protected Rotational Qubits in Cold Polyatomic Molecules

Maximilian Löw, Martin Ibrügger, Gerhard Rempe +1

Polar polyatomic molecules provide an ideal but largely unexplored platform to encode qubits in rotational states. Here, we trap cold (100-600 mK) formaldehyde (HCO) inside an…
