-violation sensitivity of closed-shell radium-containing polyatomic molecular ions
Konstantin Gaul, Nicholas R. Hutzler, Phelan Yu +3
Closed-shell atoms and molecules such as Hg or TlF provide some of the best low-energy tests of hadronic -violation which is considered to be a necessary ingredient t…
Electroweak Nuclear Properties from Single Molecular Ions in a Penning Trap
Jonas Karthein, Silviu-Marian Udrescu, Scott B. Moroch +10
We present a novel technique to probe electroweak nuclear properties by measuring parity violation (PV) in single molecular ions in a Penning trap. The trap's strong magnetic field…
Searching for axion forces with spin precession in atoms and molecules
Prateek Agrawal, Nicholas R. Hutzler, David E. Kaplan +2
We propose to use atoms and molecules as quantum sensors of axion-mediated monopole-dipole forces. We show that electron spin precession experiments using atomic and molecular beam…
Quantum-Enhanced Metrology for Molecular Symmetry Violation using Decoherence-Free Subspaces
Chi Zhang, Phelan Yu, Arian Jadbabaie +1
We propose a method to measure time-reversal symmetry violation in molecules that overcomes the standard quantum limit while leveraging decoherence-free subspaces to mitigate sensi…
Sympathetic cooling and slowing of molecules with Rydberg atoms
Chi Zhang, Seth T. Rittenhouse, Timur V. Tscherbul +2
We propose to sympathetically slow and cool polar molecules in a cold, low-density beam using laser-cooled Rydberg atoms. The elastic collision cross sections between molecules and…
Intensity-borrowing mechanisms pertinent to laser cooling of linear polyatomic molecules
Chaoqun Zhang, Nicholas R. Hutzler, Lan Cheng
A study of the intensity-borrowing mechanisms important to optical cycling transitions in laser-coolable polyatomic molecules arising from non-adiabatic coupling, contributions bey…

Yi Zeng, Arian Jadbabaie, Ashay N. Patel +3
We have developed and demonstrated a scheme to achieve rotationally-closed photon cycling in polyatomic molecules with complex hyperfine structure and sensitivity to hadronic symme…
Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons, and Neutrinos (FSNN): Whitepaper for the 2023 NSAC Long Range Plan
B. Acharya, C. Adams, A. A. Aleksandrova +176
This whitepaper presents the research priorities decided on by attendees of the 2022 Town Meeting for Fundamental Symmetries, Neutrons and Neutrinos, which took place December 13-1…
Engineering field-insensitive molecular clock transitions for symmetry violation searches
Yuiki Takahashi, Chi Zhang, Arian Jadbabaie +1
Molecules are a powerful platform to probe fundamental symmetry violations beyond the Standard Model, as they offer both large amplification factors and robustness against systemat…
Direct measurement of high-lying vibrational repumping transitions for molecular laser cooling
Nickolas H. Pilgram, Arian Jadbabaie, Chandler J. Conn +1
Molecular laser cooling and trapping requires addressing all spontaneous decays to excited vibrational states that occur at the level, which is accompli…
Non-resonant cavity for intensity buildup of multiple lasers
Yi Zeng, Nicholas R. Hutzler
A non-resonant cavity to build up laser intensity is modeled, developed and tested. It can be used for overlapping multiple lasers of different wavelengths, increasing their intens…
