Efficient generation of optical bottle beams
Yuzhe Xiao, Zhaoning Yu, Raymond A. Wambold +5
Optical bottle beams can be used to trap atoms and small low-index particles. We introduce a figure of merit for optical bottle beams, specifically in the context of optical traps,…
Speed, retention loss, and motional heating of atoms in an optical conveyor belt
G. T. Hickman, M. Saffman
The problem of high-speed transport for cold atoms with minimal heating has received considerable attention in theory and experiment. Much theoretical work has focused on solutions…
Collective excitations using a room-temperature gas of 3-level atoms in a cavity
G. T. Hickman
We theoretically investigate an ensemble of three-level room-temperature atoms in a two-mode optical cavity, focusing on the case of counterpropagating light fields. We find that i…
Optically enhanced production of metastable xenon
G. T. Hickman, J. D. Franson, T. B. Pittman
Metastable states of noble gas atoms are typically produced by electrical discharge techniques or "all-optical" excitation methods. Here we combine electrical discharges with optic…
Nanofiber-segment ring resonator
D. E. Jones, G. T. Hickman, J. D. Franson +1
We describe a fiber ring resonator comprised of a relatively long loop of standard single-mode fiber with a short nanofiber segment. The evanescent mode of the nanofiber segment al…
Low-Power Cross-Phase Modulation in a Metastable Xenon-Filled Cavity for Quantum Information Applications
G. T. Hickman, T. B. Pittman, J. D. Franson
Weak single-photon nonlinearities have many potential applications in quantum computing and quantum information. Here we demonstrate a relatively simple system for producing low-po…
Saturated absorption at nanowatt power levels using metastable xenon in a high-finesse optical cavity
G. T. Hickman, T. B. Pittman, J. D. Franson
Strong saturated absorption at nanowatt power levels has been demonstrated using metastable xenon in a high-finesse optical cavity. The use of metastable xenon allows a high qualit…
Feasibility of single-photon cross-phase modulation using metastable xenon in a high finesse cavity
B. T. Kirby, G. T. Hickman, T. B. Pittman +1
Cross-phase modulation at the single-photon level has a wide variety of fundamental applications in quantum optics including the generation of macroscopic entangled states. Here we…
Dynamically corrected gates for an exchange-only qubit
G. T. Hickman, Xin Wang, J. P. Kestner +1
We provide analytical composite pulse sequences that perform dynamical decoupling concurrently with arbitrary rotations for a qubit coded in the spin state of a triple quantum dot.…
