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…
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…
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…
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(…
