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…
Reduction of laser intensity noise over 1 MHz band for single atom trapping
Yu Wang, Kenneth Wang, Eliot F. Fenton +3
We reduce the intensity noise of laser light by using an electro-optic modulator and a cousto-optic modulator in series. The electro-optic modulator reduces noise at high frequency…
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…
Building one molecule from a reservoir of two atoms
L. R. Liu, J. D. Hood, Y. Yu +4
Chemical reactions typically proceed via stochastic encounters between reactants. Going beyond this paradigm, we combine exactly two atoms into a single, controlled reaction. The e…
