Emulating isomerization with two-dimensional Coulomb crystals
Naoto Mizukami, Gabriele Gatta, Lucia Duca +1
Isomerization, i.e. the rearrangement between distinct molecular configurations, is a fundamental process in chemistry. Here we demonstrate that two-dimensional Coulomb crystals ca…
Orientational melting in a mesoscopic system of charged particles
Lucia Duca, Naoto Mizukami, Elia Perego +2
A mesoscopic system of a few particles exhibits behaviors that strongly differ from those of a macroscopic system. While in a macroscopic system phase transitions are universal, a…
Design of a Littrow-type diode laser with independent control of cavity length and grating rotation
Lucia Duca, Elia Perego, Federico Berto +1
We present a novel extended-cavity diode laser (ECDL) based on a modified Littrow configuration. The coarse wavelength adjustment via the rotation of a diffraction grating is decou…
Prospects for single photon sideband cooling of optically trapped neutral atoms
Federico Berto, Elia Perego, Lucia Duca +1
We propose a novel cooling scheme for realising single photon sideband cooling on particles trapped in a state-dependent optical potential. We develop a master rate equation from a…
Electro-optical ion trap for experiments with atom-ion quantum hybrid systems
Elia Perego, Lucia Duca, Carlo Sias
In the development of atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics, atom-ion hybrid systems are characterized by the presence of a new tool in the experimental AMO toolbox: atom-ion…
A scalable hardware and software control apparatus for experiments with hybrid quantum systems
Elia Perego, Marco Pomponio, Amelia Detti +3
Modern experiments with fundamental quantum systems - like ultracold atoms, trapped ions, single photons - are managed by a control system formed by a number of input/output electr…
A compact radiofrequency drive based on interdependent resonant circuits for precise control of ion traps
Amelia Detti, Marco De Pas, Lucia Duca +2
Paul traps are widely used to confine electrically charged particles like atomic and molecular ions by using an intense radiofrequency (RF) field, typically obtained by a voltage d…
Bloch state tomography using Wilson lines
Tracy Li, Lucia Duca, Martin Reitter +6
Topology and geometry are essential to our understanding of modern physics, underlying many foundational concepts from high energy theories, quantum information, and condensed matt…
An Aharonov-Bohm interferometer for determining Bloch band topology
Lucia Duca, Tracy Li, Martin Reitter +3
The geometric structure of an energy band in a solid is fundamental for a wide range of many-body phenomena in condensed matter and is uniquely characterized by the distribution of…
