Creating and Probing Spin-Squeezed States of Molecules
Connor M. Holland, Callum L. Welsh, Yukai Lu +4
Polar molecules are a promising platform for quantum-enhanced sensing and precision tests of fundamental physics, owing to their strong long-range dipolar interactions, broad sensi…
Extended Rydberg Lifetimes in a Cryogenic Atom Array
Junlan Jin, Yue Shi, Youssef Aziz Alaoui +4
We report on the realization of a Cs optical tweezer array in a cryogenic blackbody radiation (BBR) environment. By enclosing the array within a 4K radiation shield, we mea…
A Blue-Detuned Magneto-Optical Trap of CaF Molecules
Samuel J. Li, Connor M. Holland, Yukai Lu +1
A key method to produce trapped and laser-cooled molecules is the magneto-optical trap (MOT), which is conventionally created using light red-detuned from an optical transition. In…
Bichromatic Imaging of Single Molecules in an Optical Tweezer Array
Connor M. Holland, Yukai Lu, Lawrence W. Cheuk
We report on a novel bichromatic fluorescent imaging scheme for background-free detection of single CaF molecules trapped in an optical tweezer array. By collecting fluorescence on…
Molecular Laser-Cooling in a Dynamically Tunable Repulsive Optical Trap
Yukai Lu, Connor M. Holland, Lawrence W. Cheuk
Recent work with laser-cooled molecules in attractive optical traps has shown that the differential AC Stark shifts arising from the trap light itself can become problematic, limit…
Synthesizing Optical Spectra using Computer-Generated Holography Techniques
Connor M. Holland, Yukai Lu, Lawrence W. Cheuk
Experimental control and detection of atoms and molecules often rely on optical transitions between different electronic states. In many cases, substructure such as hyperfine or sp…
