A 3D passive ring gyroscope for seismology

Thomas Gereons, Jannik Zenner, Thorsten Groh +1

In seismology and related fields, the measurement of rotation in all three spatial dimensions is essential to complement the observation of translations. Access to all six degrees…

Magneto-optical trapping of mercury at high phase space density

Quentin Lavigne, Thorsten Groh, Simon Stellmer

We present a realization of a magneto-optical trap of mercury atoms on the intercombination line. We report on trapping of all stable mercury isotopes. We characterize the effect o…

Demonstration of quantum brachistochrones between distant states of an atom

Manolo R. Lam, Natalie Peter, Thorsten Groh +7

Transforming an initial quantum state into a target state through the fastest possible route---a quantum brachistochrone---is a fundamental challenge for many technologies based on…

Robustness of topologically protected edge states in quantum walk experiments with neutral atoms

Thorsten Groh, Stefan Brakhane, Wolfgang Alt +3

Discrete-time quantum walks allow Floquet topological insulator materials to be explored using controllable systems such as ultracold atoms in optical lattices. By numerical simula…
