Quantum sensing of radiofrequency fields using cold Rydberg atoms in a super-molasses trap
Romain Granier, Anthony El Bekai, Miguel Angel Cifuentes Marín +12
We demonstrate the quantum sensing of radiofrequency fields based on cold Rydberg atoms in a super-molasses trap, without the need for magnetic coils. Our approach combines the met…
Super-molasses returns: All optical near-resonance laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms from background vapor
Matt Himsworth, Chester Camm, Max Carey +12
Laser cooled and trapped atoms have been the workhorse of atomic physics for the past four decades. The predominant method has been the highly versatile Magneto-Optical Trap. We de…
A misaligned magneto-optical trap to enable miniaturized atom chip systems
Ritayan Roy, Jo Rushton, Andrei Dragomir +2
We describe the application of displaced, or misaligned, beams in a mirror-based magneto-optical trap (MOT) to enable portable and miniaturized atom chip experiments, where optical…
Matterwave interferometric velocimetry of cold Rb atoms
Max Carey, Mohammad Belal, Matthew Himsworth +2
We consider the matterwave interferometric measurement of atomic velocities, which forms a building block for all matterwave inertial measurements. A theoretical analysis, addressi…
Carrier frequency modulation of an acousto-optic modulator for laser stabilization
Matthew Aldous, Jonathan Woods, Andrei Dragomir +2
The stabilization of lasers to absolute frequency references is a fundamental requirement in several areas of atomic, molecular and optical physics. A range of techniques are avail…
A dynamic magneto-optical trap for atom chips
Jo Rushton, Ritayan Roy, James Bateman +1
We describe a dynamic magneto-optical trap (MOT) suitable for the use with vacuum systems in which optical access is limited to a single window. This technique facilitates the long…
Interferometric laser cooling of atomic rubidium
Alexander Dunning, Rachel Gregory, James Bateman +2
We report the 1-D cooling of Rb atoms using a velocity-dependent optical force based upon Ramsey matter-wave interferometry. Using stimulated Raman transitions between groun…
Composite pulses for interferometry in a thermal cold atom cloud
Alexander Dunning, Rachel Gregory, James Bateman +4
Atom interferometric sensors and quantum information processors must maintain coherence while the evolving quantum wavefunction is split, transformed and recombined, but suffer fro…
The Feasibility of a Fully Miniaturized Magneto-Optical Trap for Portable Ultracold Quantum Technology
Joseph Rushton, Matthew Aldous, Matt Himsworth
Experiments using laser cooled atoms and ions show real promise for practical applications in quantum- enhanced metrology, timing, navigation, and sensing as well as exotic roles i…
Control and Manipulation of Cold Atoms in Optical Tweezers
Cecilia Muldoon, Lukas Brandt, Jian Dong +4
Neutral atoms trapped by laser light are amongst the most promising candidates for storing and processing information in a quantum computer or simulator. The application certainly…
EIT-Based Quantum Memory for Single Photons from Cavity-QED
Matt Himsworth, Peter Nisbet, Jerome Dilley +2
We investigate the feasibility of implementing an elementary building block for quantum information processing. The combination of a deterministic single photon source based on vac…
Magneto-optical trapping and background-free imaging for atoms near nanostructured surfaces
Hamid Ohadi, Matthew Himsworth, André Xuereb +1
We demonstrate a combined magneto-optical trap and imaging system that is suitable for the investigation of cold atoms near surfaces. In particular, we are able to trap atoms close…
Rubidium Pump-Probe Spectroscopy: Comparison between ab-initio Theory and Experiment
M. Himsworth, T. Freegarde
We present a simple, analytic model for pump-probe spectroscopy in dilute atomic gases. Our model treats multilevel atoms, takes several broadening mechanisms into account and, wit…
Hänsch--Couillaud locking of Mach--Zehnder interferometer for carrier removal from a phase-modulated optical spectrum
J. E. Bateman, R. L. D. Murray, M. Himsworth +3
We describe and analyse the operation and stabilization of a Mach--Zehnder interferometer, which separates the carrier and the first-order sidebands of a phase-modulated laser fiel…
