Many-Body Effects in Dark-State Laser Cooling
Muhammad Miskeen Khan, David Wellnitz, Bhuvanesh Sundar +5
We develop a unified many-body theory of two-photon dark-state laser cooling, the workhorse for preparing trapped ions close to their motional quantum ground state. For ions with a…
Collective three-body interactions enable a robust quantum speedup
Haoqing Zhang, Anjun Chu, Chengyi Luo +4
We show that collective three-body interactions (3BIs), implementable with atoms loaded inside an optical cavity, offer a significant advantage for preparing complex multiparti…
Solitons in arbitrary dimensions stabilized by photon-mediated interactions
Haoqing Zhang, Anjun Chu, Chengyi Luo +2
We propose a scheme to generate solitons in arbitrary dimensions, in a matter-wave interferometer, without the need of quantum degeneracy. In our setting, solitons emerge by balanc…
Many-body gap protection of motional dephasing of an optical clock transition
Zhijing Niu, Vera M. Schäfer, Haoqing Zhang +7
Quantum simulation and metrology with atoms, ions, and molecules often rely on using light fields to manipulate their internal states. The absorbed momentum from the light fields c…
