Efficient operator method for modelling mode mixing in misaligned optical cavities
William J. Hughes, Thomas H. Doherty, Jacob A. Blackmore +2
The transverse field structure and diffraction loss of the resonant modes of Fabry-Pérot optical cavities are acutely sensitive to the alignment and shape of the mirror substrates.…
Mode mixing and losses in misaligned microcavities
William J. Hughes, Thomas H. Doherty, Jacob A. Blackmore +2
We present a study on the optical losses of Fabry-Pérot cavities subject to realistic transverse mirror misalignment. We consider mirrors of the two most prevalent surface forms: i…
Diatomic-py: A python module for calculating the rotational and hyperfine structure of molecules
Jacob A. Blackmore, Philip D. Gregory, Jeremy M. Hutson +1
We present a computer program to calculate the quantised rotational and hyperfine energy levels of diatomic molecules in the presence of dc electric, dc magnetic, and off-r…
Optimisation of Scalable Ion-Cavity Interfaces for Quantum Photonic Networks
Shaobo Gao, Jacob A. Blackmore, William J. Hughes +2
In the design optimisation of ion-cavity interfaces for quantum networking applications, difficulties occur due to the many competing figures of merit and highly interdependent des…
Molecule-molecule and atom-molecule collisions with ultracold RbCs molecules
Philip D. Gregory, Jacob A. Blackmore, Matthew D. Frye +4
Understanding ultracold collisions involving molecules is of fundamental importance for current experiments, where inelastic collisions typically limit the lifetime of molecular en…
Robust storage qubits in ultracold polar molecules
Philip D. Gregory, Jacob A. Blackmore, Sarah L. Bromley +2
Quantum states with long-lived coherence are essential for quantum computation, simulation and metrology. The nuclear spin states of ultracold molecules prepared in the singlet rov…
Coherent Manipulation of the Internal State of Ultracold RbCs Molecules with Multiple Microwave Fields
Jacob A. Blackmore, Philip D. Gregory, Sarah L. Bromley +1
We explore coherent multi-photon processes in RbCs molecules using 3-level lambda and ladder configurations of rotational and hyperfine states, and discuss their rel…
Controlling the ac Stark effect of RbCs with dc electric and magnetic fields
Jacob A. Blackmore, Rahul Sawant, Philip D. Gregory +4
We investigate the effects of static electric and magnetic fields on the differential ac Stark shifts for microwave transitions in ultracold bosonic RbCs molecules,…
Loss of ultracold RbCs molecules via optical excitation of long-lived two-body collision complexes
Philip D. Gregory, Jacob A. Blackmore, Sarah L. Bromley +1
We show that the lifetime of ultracold ground-state RbCs molecules in an optical trap is limited by fast optical excitation of long-lived two-body collision complexe…
Ultracold polar molecules as qudits
Rahul Sawant, Jacob A Blackmore, Philip D Gregory +6
We discuss how the internal structure of ultracold molecules, trapped in the motional ground state of optical tweezers, can be used to implement qudits. We explore the rotational,…
Sticky collisions of ultracold RbCs molecules
Philip D. Gregory, Matthew D. Frye, Jacob A. Blackmore +4
Understanding and controlling collisions is crucial to the burgeoning field of ultracold molecules. All experiments so far have observed fast loss of molecules from the trap. Howev…
Ultracold molecules for quantum simulation: rotational coherences in CaF and RbCs
Jacob A Blackmore, Luke Caldwell, Philip D Gregory +9
We explore the uses of ultracold molecules as a platform for future experiments in the field of quantum simulation, focusing on two molecular species, CaF and …
AC Stark Effect in Ultracold Polar RbCs Molecules
Philip D. Gregory, Jacob A. Blackmore, Jesus Aldegunde +2
We investigate the effect of far-off-resonant trapping light on ultracold bosonic RbCs molecules. We use kHz-precision microwave spectroscopy to measure the differential AC Stark s…
