Ultracold collisions of a neutral atom with a trapped ion in 1D
Seth T. Rittenhouse, Lorenzo Oghittu, Arghavan Safavi-Naini +2
We present a fully quantum mechanical description of a free Li atom scattering from a trapped Yb ion in one dimension. By reformulating the system in polar coordina…
Confinement-induced resonances for the creation of quasi-one-dimensional ultra cold gases of alkali--alkaline-earth dimers
Lorenzo Oghittu, Premjith Thekkeppatt, Nirav P. Mehta +4
We theoretically investigate the role of confinement-induced resonances (CIRs) in low-dimensional ultracold atomic mixtures for the formation of weakly bound dimers. To this end, w…
Quadratic spin-phonon coupling and bipolarons in trapped ions
L. P. H. Gallagher, M. Mazzanti, Z. E. D. Ackerman +3
We consider the quantum simulation of quadratic spin-phonon coupling in a crystal of trapped ions. The coupling is implemented using tightly focused optical tweezers on each ion th…
Non-paraxial effects on laser-qubit operations
L. P. H. Gallagher, M. Mazzanti, Z. E. D. Ackerman +3
Tightly-focused laser beams, or optical tweezers, are essential for analogue and digital quantum simulation with neutral atoms and trapped ions. Despite this, most of the current i…
