A digitally controlled silicon quantum processing unit
Members of the HRL Quantum Team, Collaborators, : +255
Commercially-relevant quantum computers will require large numbers of high-performing qubits that can be manufactured, integrated, and controlled at scale. Silicon exchange-only (E…
Chirped magneto-optical trap of molybdenum
Sai Naga Manoj Paladugu, Nickolas Pilgram, Stephen Eckel +1
We have directly loaded a cryogenic beam of molybdenum atoms into a magneto-optical trap. By chirping the detuning of the trapping lasers, we were able to enhance the number of ato…
Spectroscopy of laser cooling transitions in MgF
Nickolas H. Pilgram, Benjamin Baldwin, David S. La Mantia +2
We measure the complete set of transition frequencies necessary to laser cool and trap MgF molecules. Specifically, we report the frequency of multiple low transitions of the $…
Simulations of a frequency-chirped magneto-optical trap of MgF
Kayla J. Rodriguez, Nickolas H. Pilgram, Daniel S. Barker +2
We simulate the capture process of MgF molecules into a frequency-chirped molecular MOT. Our calculations show that by chirping the frequency, the MOT capture velocity is increased…
Radiative Decay Rate and Branching Fractions of MgF
Eric Norrgard, Yuly Chamorro, Catherine Cooksey +6
We report measured and calculated values of radiative decay rates and vibrational branching fractions for the A state of MgF. The decay rate measurements use time-correlated s…
Direct measurement of high-lying vibrational repumping transitions for molecular laser cooling
Nickolas H. Pilgram, Arian Jadbabaie, Chandler J. Conn +1
Molecular laser cooling and trapping requires addressing all spontaneous decays to excited vibrational states that occur at the level, which is accompli…
Characterizing the Fundamental Bending Vibration of a Linear Polyatomic Molecule for Symmetry Violation Searches
Arian Jadbabaie, Yuiki Takahashi, Nickolas H. Pilgram +4
Polyatomic molecules have been identified as sensitive probes of charge-parity violating and parity-violating physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). For example, many linear tria…
Fine and hyperfine interactions in YbOH and YbOH
Nickolas H. Pilgram, Arian Jadbabaie, Yi Zeng +2
The odd isotopologues of ytterbium monohydroxide, YbOH, have been identified as promising molecules in which to measure parity (P) and time reversal (T) violating physi…
Enhanced Yield from a Cryogenic Buffer Gas Beam Source via Excited State Chemistry
Arian Jadbabaie, Nickolas H. Pilgram, Jacek Klos +2
We use narrow-band laser excitation of Yb to substantially enhance the brightness of a cold beam of YbOH, a polyatomic molecule with high sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard…
The pure rotational spectrum of YbOH
Sanjay Nakhate, Timothy C. Steimle, Nickolas H. Pilgram +1
The pure rotational spectrum of YbOH has been recorded and analyzed to produce fine and magnetic hyperfine parameters for the (0,0,0) state. These parameters are co…
Spontaneous Quantum Teleportation in a Quenched Spin Lattice
Nickolas Pilgram, Thomas D. Gutierrez
An Ising-inspired numerical model is developed to study spontaneous quantum teleportation in a quenched spin lattice. Quantum teleportation is an operation that can, using entangle…
