Extended rotational coherence of polar molecules in an elliptically polarized trap
Annie J. Park, Lewis R. B. Picard, Gabriel E. Patenotte +3
We demonstrate long rotational coherence of individual polar molecules in the motional ground state of an optical trap. In the present, previously unexplored regime, the rotational…
High resolution photoassociation spectroscopy of the excited potential of NaCs
Lewis R. B. Picard, Jessie T. Zhang, William B. Cairncross +8
We report on photoassociation spectroscopy probing the potential of the bi-alkali NaCs molecule, identifying eleven vibrational lines between and of…
An optical tweezer array of ground-state polar molecules
Jessie T. Zhang, Lewis R. B. Picard, William B. Cairncross +4
Fully internal and motional state controlled and individually manipulable polar molecules are desirable for many quantum science applications leveraging the rich state space and in…
Assembly of a rovibrational ground state molecule in an optical tweezer
William B. Cairncross, Jessie T. Zhang, Lewis R. B. Picard +3
We demonstrate the coherent creation of a single NaCs molecule in its rotational, vibrational, and electronic (rovibronic) ground state in an optical tweezer. Starting with a weakl…
Coherent optical creation of a single molecule
Yichao Yu, Kenneth Wang, Jonathan D. Hood +7
We report coherent association of atoms into a single weakly bound NaCs molecule in an optical tweezer through an optical Raman transition. The Raman technique uses a deeply bound…
Forming a single molecule by magnetoassociation in an optical tweezer
Jessie T. Zhang, Yichao Yu, William B. Cairncross +6
We demonstrate the formation of a single NaCs molecule in an optical tweezer by magnetoassociation through an s-wave Feshbach resonance at 864.11(5)G. Starting from single atoms co…
Multichannel interactions of two atoms in an optical tweezer
Jonathan D. Hood, Yichao Yu, Yen-Wei Lin +5
The multichannel Na-Cs interactions are characterized by a series of measurements using two atoms in an optical tweezer, along with a multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT). The…
Molecular assembly of ground state cooled single atoms
Lee R. Liu, Jonathan D. Hood, Yichao Yu +5
We demonstrate full quantum state control of two species of single atoms using optical tweezers and assemble the atoms into a molecule. Our demonstration includes 3D ground-state c…
Motional Ground State Cooling Outside the Lamb-Dicke Regime
Yichao Yu, Nicholas R. Hutzler, Jessie T. Zhang +4
We report Raman sideband cooling of a single sodium atom to its three-dimensional motional ground state in an optical tweezer. Despite a large Lamb-Dicke parameter, high initial te…
Ultracold Molecular Assembly
Lee R. Liu, Jessie T. Zhang, Yichao Yu +4
Chemical reactions can be surprisingly efficient at ultracold temperatures ( < 1mK) due to the wave nature of atoms and molecules. The study of reactions in the ultracold regime is…
Single Vortex Pinning and Penetration Depth in Superconducting NdFeAsOF
Jessie T. Zhang, Jeehoon Kim, Magdalena Huefner +6
We use a magnetic force microscope (MFM) to investigate single vortex pinning and penetration depth in NdFeAsOF, one of the highest- iron-based superconductors. In…
