Quantum sensing of radiofrequency fields using cold Rydberg atoms in a super-molasses trap
Romain Granier, Anthony El Bekai, Miguel Angel Cifuentes Marín +12
We demonstrate the quantum sensing of radiofrequency fields based on cold Rydberg atoms in a super-molasses trap, without the need for magnetic coils. Our approach combines the met…
Super-molasses returns: All optical near-resonance laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms from background vapor
Matt Himsworth, Chester Camm, Max Carey +12
Laser cooled and trapped atoms have been the workhorse of atomic physics for the past four decades. The predominant method has been the highly versatile Magneto-Optical Trap. We de…
An experimental platform for levitated mechanics in space
Jack Homans, Elliot Simcox, Jakub Wardak +9
Conducting levitated mechanical experiments in extreme conditions has long been the aim of researchers, as it allows for the investigation of new fundamental physics phenomena. One…
Laboratory confirmation and improved Accuracy of 4f and 5d energy levels of Fe II previously identified from stellar spectra
M. Ding, H. Kozuki, F. Concepcion +2
Many energy levels of singly ionised iron (Fe II, ) remain uncertain or experimentally unknown. Their identification and spectral line data are required in reliable astrophys…
