A Protocol for Shielding-Enhanced Loading of Single Polar Molecules into Optical Tweezers

Reuben R. W. Wang, Christian H. Nunez, Conner Williams +5

We propose the high-fidelity preparation of single bosonic molecules in optical tweezers starting from small tweezer-trapped molecular ensembles. Our scheme combines a static elect…

Hyperfine spectroscopy of optical-cycling transitions in singly ionized thulium

Patrick Müller, Andrei Tretiakov, Amanda Younes +3

We present a spectroscopic investigation of that provides two key foundations for its use as a platform for advanced quantum applications. First, we establish…

Internal state cooling of an atom with thermal light

Amanda Younes, Randall Putnam, Paul Hamilton +1

A near-minimal instance of optical cooling is experimentally presented wherein the internal-state entropy of a single atom is reduced more than twofold by illuminating it with broa…

Primary quantum thermometry of mm-wave blackbody radiation via induced state transfer in Rydberg states of cold atoms

Noah Schlossberger, Andrew P. Rotunno, Stephen P. Eckel +14

Rydberg states of alkali atoms are highly sensitive to electromagnetic radiation in the GHz-to-THz regime because their transitions have large electric dipole moments. Consequently…

Thermal light in confined dimensions for "laser" cooling with unfiltered sunlight

Amanda Younes, Wesley C. Campbell

Cooling of systems to sub-kelvin temperatures is usually done using either a cold bath of particles or spontaneous photon scattering from a laser field; in either case, cooling is…
