Internal state cooling of an atom with thermal light
Amanda Younes, Randall Putnam, Paul Hamilton +1
A near-minimal instance of optical cooling is experimentally presented wherein the internal-state entropy of a single atom is reduced more than twofold by illuminating it with broa…

Impulsive Spin-Motion Entanglement for Fast Quantum Computation and Sensing
Randall Putnam, Adam D. West, Wesley C. Campbell +1
We perform entanglement of spin and motional degrees of freedom of a single, ground-state trapped ion through the application of a ps laser pulse. The duration of the interact…
