Sub-Doppler laser cooling and optical transport of cesium with static magnetic fields
Tobias Bothwell, Junxin Chen, Brian M. Fields +16
Laser cooling of alkali atoms typically requires time-varying magnetic fields, introducing unwanted coupling between atom preparation and coherent operations. Here we demonstrate s…

Nanosecond-timescale development of Faraday rotation in an ultracold gas
Jonathan R. Gilbert, Mark A. Watkins, Jacob L. Roberts
When a gas of ultracold atoms is suddenly illuminated by light that is nearly resonant with an atomic transition, the atoms cannot respond instantaneously. This non-instantaneous r…
