Creating and Probing Spin-Squeezed States of Molecules

Connor M. Holland, Callum L. Welsh, Yukai Lu +4

Polar molecules are a promising platform for quantum-enhanced sensing and precision tests of fundamental physics, owing to their strong long-range dipolar interactions, broad sensi…

Quantum simulation of the Dicke model in a two-dimensional ion crystal: chaos, quantum thermalization, and revivals

Bryce Bullock, Sean R. Muleady, Jennifer F. Lilieholm +6

Quantum many-body systems driven far from equilibrium can exhibit chaos, entanglement, and non-classical correlations, yet directly observing these phenomena in large, closed quant…

Many-Body Effects in Dark-State Laser Cooling

Muhammad Miskeen Khan, David Wellnitz, Bhuvanesh Sundar +5

We develop a unified many-body theory of two-photon dark-state laser cooling, the workhorse for preparing trapped ions close to their motional quantum ground state. For ions with a…

Parametric Amplification of Spin-Motion Coupling in Three-Dimensional Trapped-Ion Crystals

Samarth Hawaldar, N. Nikhil, Ana Maria Rey +2

Three-dimensional (3D) crystals offer a route to scale up trapped ion systems for quantum sensing and quantum simulation applications. However, engineering coherent spin-motion cou…

Effects of Small-Chain Superexchange Dynamics on Spin-Orbit Coupled Clock Spectroscopy

Mikhail Mamaev, Ana Maria Rey, William R. Milner

Optical lattice clocks have set records in clock precision and accuracy. Continuing to advance their performance, via probing as many atoms for the longest interrogation time affor…
