Photoionization of Rydberg Atoms in Optical Lattices
Ryan Cardman, Jamie MacLennan, Sarah E. Anderson +2
We develop a formalism for photoionization (PI) and potential energy curves (PECs) of Rydberg atoms in ponderomotive optical lattices and apply it to examples covering several regi…
Atom interferometry using temporal Talbot effect on a Bose-Einstein condensate
Jay Mangaonkar, Chetan Vishwakarma, S. Sagar Maurya +4
We experimentally investigate a uniform pulse sequence in which atom interference is realized using the temporal matter-wave Talbot effect in an atom-optic kicked rotor system. Mul…
Study of loss dynamics of strontium in a magneto-optical trap
Chetan Vishwakarma, Kushal Patel, Jay Mangaonkar +3
Collisions with background atoms are known to induce a significant shift in the frequency of state-of-the-art optical atomic clocks and contribute to state decoherence in cold atom…
Deeply bound (24 + 5) Rb and Rb molecules for eight spin couplings
Jamie L. MacLennan, Yun-Jhih Chen, Georg Raithel
We observe long-range Rb and Rb (24+5) Rydberg molecules for eight different spin couplings, with binding energies up to 440~MHz and sub-percent relative…
