Superradiant and subradiant states in lifetime-limited organic molecules through laser-induced tuning
Christian Lange, Emma Daggett, Valentin Walther +2
An array of radiatively coupled emitters is an exciting new platform for generating, storing, and manipulating quantum light. However, the simultaneous positioning and tuning of mu…
Imaging a Li Atom In An Optical Tweezer 2000 Times with -Enhanced Gray Molasses
Karl N. Blodgett, David Peana, Saumitra Phatak +3
We have imaged lithium-6 thousands of times in an optical tweezer using -enhanced gray molasses cooling light. Despite being the lightest alkali, with a recoil temperature of 3.…
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…
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…
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…
Atom-light interactions in quasi-1D nanostructures: a Green's function perspective
A. Asenjo-Garcia, J. D. Hood, D. E. Chang +1
Based on a formalism that describes atom-light interactions in terms of the classical electromagnetic Green's function, we study the optical response of atoms and other quantum emi…
Atom-atom interactions around the band edge of a photonic crystal waveguide

A. Goban, C. -L. Hung, J. D. Hood +4
We report observations of superradiance for atoms trapped in the near field of a photonic crystal waveguide (PCW). By fabricating the PCW with a band edge near the D transition…
