Spectroscopy on the eEDM-sensitive states of ThF

Kia Boon Ng, Yan Zhou, Lan Cheng +8

An excellent candidate molecule for the measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment (eEDM) is thorium monofluoride (ThF) because the eEDM-sensitive state, , is…

Resolving the gravitational redshift within a millimeter atomic sample

Tobias Bothwell, Colin J. Kennedy, Alexander Aeppli +5

Einstein's theory of general relativity states that clocks at different gravitational potentials tick at different rates - an effect known as the gravitational redshift. As fundame…

High Phase-Space Density of Laser-Cooled Molecules in an Optical Lattice

Yewei Wu, Justin J. Burau, Kameron Mehling +2

We report laser cooling and trapping of yttrium monoxide (YO) molecules in an optical lattice. We show that gray molasses cooling remains exceptionally efficient for YO molecules i…

Disentangling Pauli blocking of atomic decay from cooperative radiation and atomic motion in a 2D Fermi gas

Thomas Bilitewski, Asier Piñeiro Orioli, Christian Sanner +6

The observation of Pauli blocking of atomic spontaneous decay via direct measurements of the atomic population requires the use of long-lived atomic gases where quantum statistics,…

Floquet Engineering Ultracold Polar Molecules to Simulate Topological Insulators

Thomas Schuster, Felix Flicker, Ming Li +4

We present a quantitative, near-term experimental blueprint for the quantum simulation of topological insulators using lattice-trapped ultracold polar molecules. In particular, we…

Pauli blocking of atomic spontaneous decay

Christian Sanner, Lindsay Sonderhouse, Ross B. Hutson +3

Spontaneous decay of an excited atomic state is a fundamental process that originates from the interaction between matter and vacuum modes of the electromagnetic field. The rate of…
