Parity-Doublet Coherence Times in Optically Trapped Polyatomic Molecules
Paige Robichaud, Christian Hallas, Junheng Tao +3
Polyatomic molecules provide complex internal structures that are ideal for applications in quantum information science, quantum simulation, and precision searches for physics beyo…
Quantum-State-Controlled Collisions of Ultracold Polyatomic Molecules
Nathaniel B. Vilas, Paige Robichaud, Christian Hallas +7
Collisions between ultracold calcium monohydroxide (CaOH) molecules are realized and studied. Inelastic collision rate constants are measured for CaOH prepared in ground and excite…
High Compression Blue-Detuned Magneto-Optical Trap of Polyatomic Molecules
Christian Hallas, Grace K. Li, Nathaniel B. Vilas +3
We demonstrate a blue-detuned magneto-optical trap (MOT) of a polyatomic molecule, calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). We identify a novel MOT frequency configuration that produces high…
An optical tweezer array of ultracold polyatomic molecules
Nathaniel B. Vilas, Paige Robichaud, Christian Hallas +3
Polyatomic molecules have rich structural features that make them uniquely suited to applications in quantum information science, quantum simulation, ultracold chemistry, and searc…
Blackbody thermalization and vibrational lifetimes of trapped polyatomic molecules
Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas, Loïc Anderegg +5
We study the internal state dynamics of optically trapped polyatomic molecules subject to room temperature blackbody radiation. Using rate equations that account for radiative deca…
Quantum Control of Trapped Polyatomic Molecules for eEDM Searches
Loïc Anderegg, Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas +4
Ultracold polyatomic molecules are promising candidates for experiments in quantum science, quantum sensing, ultracold chemistry, and precision measurements of physics beyond the S…
Optical Trapping of a Polyatomic Molecule in an -Type Parity Doublet State
Christian Hallas, Nathaniel B. Vilas, Loïc Anderegg +5
We report optical trapping of a polyatomic molecule, calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). CaOH molecules from a magneto-optical trap are sub-Doppler laser cooled to in f…
Magneto-Optical Trapping and Sub-Doppler Cooling of a Polyatomic Molecule
Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas, Loïc Anderegg +4
We report magneto-optical trapping (MOT) of a polyatomic molecule, calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). The MOT contains CaOH molecules at a peak density of $3.0(8)\ti…
