Rapid all-optical loading of trapped ions using a miniaturised atom source

Lorenzo Versini, Tim F. Wohlers-Reichel, Catherine E. J. Challoner +8

We characterise an efficient optically-heated neutral atom source for ion trapping. We observe loading rates of up to with heating powers below $85\,\mathr…

Robust and Deterministic Preparation of Bosonic Logical States in a Trapped Ion

V. G. Matsos, C. H. Valahu, T. Navickas +5

Encoding logical qubits in bosonic modes provides a potentially hardware-efficient implementation of fault-tolerant quantum information processing. Here, we demonstrate high-fideli…

Direct observation of geometric phase in dynamics around a conical intersection

Christophe H. Valahu, Vanessa C. Olaya-Agudelo, Ryan J. MacDonell +9

Conical intersections are ubiquitous in chemistry and physics, often governing processes such as light harvesting, vision, photocatalysis, and chemical reactivity. They act as funn…

Predicting molecular vibronic spectra using time-domain analog quantum simulation

Ryan J. MacDonell, Tomas Navickas, Tim F. Wohlers-Reichel +8

Spectroscopy is one of the most accurate probes of the molecular world. However, predicting molecular spectra accurately is computationally difficult because of the presence of ent…
