Electrostatic quadrupole lens for focusing a cryogenic TlF molecular beam
Pengyu Zhou, Olivier Grasdijk, David DeMille +7
Precision measurements with molecules require molecular beams with high flux and narrow divergence. Here we present the design, implementation, and characterization of an electrost…
Non-destructive cavity readout of molecules for precision measurements
Alejandro Salas-Estrada, Silviu-Marian Udrescu, Geoffrey Zheng +6
We propose a non-destructive method to measure the population of molecules in a selected rotational-hyperfine state by coupling them to a high-finesse optical cavity. In contrast t…
Adiabatic passage of TlF with microwaves in a cryogenic beam
Olivier Grasdijk, Jakob Kastelic, Jianhui Li +7
We present a hyperfine-resolved state preparation scheme for thallium fluoride (TlF) molecules based on microwave-driven adiabatic passage (AP) in a spatially varying electric fiel…
Simulated Laser Cooling and Magneto-Optical Trapping of Group IV Atoms
Geoffrey Zheng, Jianwei Wang, Mohit Verma +3
We present a scheme for laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of the Group IV (a.k.a. Group 14 or tetrel) atoms silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), and lead (Pb). These el…
A magneto-optical trap of silver and potassium atoms
Michael Vayninger, Angela Xiang, Nachiket D. Bhanushali +6
We demonstrate a dual magneto-optical trap of Ag and K. For silver, a decreasing-field Zeeman slower loads a MOT of atoms at a temperature of 0.74(…
Laser radiation pressure slowing of a molecular beam
J. F. Barry, E. S. Shuman, E. B. Norrgard +1
There is substantial interest in producing samples of ultracold molecules for possible applications in quantum computation, quantum simulation of condensed matter systems, precisio…
On the Prospects for Laser Cooling of TlF
L. R. Hunter, S. K. Peck, A. S. Greenspon +2
We measure the upper state lifetime and two ratios of vibrational branching fractions f_{v'v} on the B^{3}Π_{1}(v') - X^{1}Σ^{+}(v) transition of TlF. We find the B state lifetime…
Progress towards fabrication of Th:229-doped high energy band-gap crystals for use as a solid-state optical frequency reference
Wade G. Rellergert, Scott T. Sullivan, D. DeMille +5
We have recently described a novel method for the construction of a solid-state optical frequency reference based on doping Th into high energy band-gap crystals. Since nuc…
Optical transition of the Th nucleus in a solid-state environment
Wade G. Rellergert, D. DeMille, R. R. Greco +3
We describe a novel approach to directly measure the energy of the narrow, low-lying isomeric state in Th. Since nuclear transitions are far less sensitive to environmental…
Cavity QED in a molecular ion trap
D. I. Schuster, Lev S. Bishop, I. L. Chuang +2
We propose an approach for studying quantum information and performing high resolution spectroscopy of rotational states of trapped molecular ions using an on-chip superconducting…
