High finesse bow-tie cavity for strong atom-photon coupling in Rydberg arrays
Yu-Ting Chen, Michal Szurek, Beili Hu +3
We report a high-finesse bow-tie cavity designed for atomic physics experiments with Rydberg atom arrays. The cavity has a finesse of and a waist of m at the cesi…
Trapping Yb Atoms into a One-Dimensional Optical Lattice with a Small Waist
Akio Kawasaki, Boris Braverman, Edwin Pedrozo-Peñafiel +4
In most experiments with atoms trapped in optical lattices, the transverse size of the optical lattice beams is on the order of tens of micrometers, and loading many atoms into sma…
Near-Unitary Spin Squeezing in Yb
Boris Braverman, Akio Kawasaki, Edwin Pedrozo-Peñafiel +9
Spin squeezing can improve atomic precision measurements beyond the standard quantum limit (SQL), and unitary spin squeezing is essential for improving atomic clocks. We report sub…
Geometrically asymmetric optical cavity for strong atom-photon coupling
Akio Kawasaki, Boris Braverman, Edwin Pedrozo-Peñafiel +11
Optical cavities are widely used to enhance the interaction between atoms and light. Typical designs using a geometrically symmetric structure in the near-concentric regime face a…
Fast Compact Laser Shutter Using a Direct Current Motor and 3D Printing
Grace H. Zhang, Boris Braverman, Akio Kawasaki +1
We present a mechanical laser shutter design that utilizes a DC electric motor to rotate a blade which blocks and unblocks a light beam. The blade and the main body of the shutter…
Carving complex many-atom entangled states by single-photon detection
Wenlan Chen, Jiazhong Hu, Yiheng Duan +3
We propose a versatile and efficient method to generate a broad class of complex entangled states of many atoms via the detection of a single photon. For an atomic ensemble contain…
Two-Color Magneto-Optical Trap with Small Magnetic Field for Ytterbium
Akio Kawasaki, Boris Braverman, QinQin Yu +1
We report a two-color magneto-optical trap (MOT) for ytterbium atoms operating at a low magnetic field gradient down to 2 G/cm where a conventional MOT using the singlet transition…
