Quantum control of ion-atom collisions beyond the ultracold regime
Maks Z. Walewski, Matthew D. Frye, Or Katz +3
Tunable scattering resonances are crucial for controlling atomic and molecular systems. However, their use has so far been limited to ultracold temperatures. These conditions remai…
Chaotic scattering in ultracold atom-ion collisions
Meirav Pinkas, Jonathan Wengrowicz, Nitzan Akerman +1
We report on signatures of classical chaos in ultracold collisions between a trapped ion and a free atom. Using numerical simulations, we show that the scattering dynamics can be h…
Observation of trap-assisted formation of atom-ion bound states
Meirav Pinkas, Or Katz, Jonathan Wengrowicz +2
Pairs of free particles cannot form bound states in elastic collision due to momentum and energy conservation. In many ultracold experiments, however, the particles collide in the…
Quantum-Logic Detection of Chemical Reactions
Or Katz, Meirav Pinkas, Nitzan Akerman +1
Studies of chemical reactions by a single pair of atoms in a well defined quantum state constitute a corner stone in quantum chemistry. Yet, the number of demonstrated techniques w…
Effect of ion-trap parameters on energy distributions of ultra-cold atom-ion mixtures
Meirav Pinkas, Ziv Meir, Tomas Sikorsky +3
The holy grail of ion-neutral systems is reaching the s-wave scattering regime. However, most of these systems have a fundamental lower collision energy limit which is higher than…
Strong angular-momentum mixing in ultracold atom-ion excitation-exchange
Ruti Ben-Shlomi, Romain Vexiau, Ziv Meir +5
Atom-ion interactions occur through the electric dipole which is induced by the ion on the neutral atom. In a Langevin collision, in which the atom and ion overcome the centrifugal…
Direct observation of atom-ion non-equilibrium sympathetic cooling
Ziv Meir, Meirav Pinkas, Tomas Sikorsky +3
Sympathetic cooling is the process of energy exchange between a system and a colder bath. We investigate this fundamental process in an atom-ion experiment where the system is comp…
Single-shot energy measurement of a single atom and the direct reconstruction of its energy distribution
Ziv Meir, Tomas Sikorsky, Nitzan Akerman +3
An ensemble of atoms in steady-state, whether in thermal equilibrium or not, has a well defined energy distribution. Since the energy of single atoms within the ensemble cannot be…
