Mid-circuit qubit measurement and rearrangement in a Yb atomic array

M. A. Norcia, W. B. Cairncross, K. Barnes +42

Measurement-based quantum error correction relies on the ability to determine the state of a subset of qubits (ancillae) within a processor without revealing or disturbing the stat…

A new bound on the electron's electric dipole moment

Tanya S. Roussy, Luke Caldwell, Trevor Wright +8

The Standard Model cannot explain the dominance of matter over anti-matter in our universe. This imbalance indicates undiscovered physics that violates combined CP symmetry. Many e…

Systematic and statistical uncertainty evaluation of the HfF electron electric dipole moment experiment

Luke Caldwell, Tanya S. Roussy, Trevor Wright +8

We have completed a new precision measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment using trapped HfF in rotating bias fields. We report on the accuracy evaluation of this m…

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…

Experimental constraint on axion-like particle coupling over seven orders of magnitude in mass

Tanya S. Roussy, Daniel A. Palken, William B. Cairncross +11

We use our recent electric dipole moment (EDM) measurement data to constrain the possibility that the HfF EDM oscillates in time due to interactions with candidate dark matter…

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…
