Switching Rydberg interactions by three orders of magnitude using a terahertz field
Karen Wadenpfuhl, Aaron Reinhard, Oliver Hughes +3
Atom-based quantum computing exploits the ability to enhance atom-atom interactions by employing laser excitation to higher-excited Rydberg states. Additional fields that drive tra…
Coherent excitation of three-atom entangled states near a two-body Förster resonance
Tomohisa Yoda, Emily Hirsch, Jason Madison +2
We experimentally study three-body energy exchange during Rydberg excitation near a two-body Förster resonance. By varying the excitation pulse duration or Rabi frequency, we contr…
Assessing the Impact of Metacognitive Post-Reflection Exercises on Problem-Solving Skillfulness
Aaron Reinhard, Alex Felleson, Paula Turner +1
We studied the impact of metacognitive reflections on recently completed work as a way to improve the retention of newly-learned problem-solving techniques. Students video-recorded…
Quantifying the impact of state mixing on the Rydberg excitation blockade
Milo Eder, Andrew Lesak, Abigail Plone +3
The Rydberg excitation blockade has been at the heart of an impressive array of recent achievements; however, state-mixing interactions can compromise its efficiency. When ultracol…
Quantum distillation and confinement of vacancies in a doublon sea
Lin Xia, Laura A. Zundel, Juan Carrasquilla +4
Ultracold atomic gases have revolutionized the study of non-equilibrium dynamics in quantum many-body systems. Many counterintuitive non-equilibrium effects have been observed, suc…
The effect of optical lattice heating on the momentum distribution of a 1D Bose gas
Jean-Félix Riou, Laura A. Zundel, Aaron Reinhard +1
We theoretically study how excitations due to spontaneous emission and trap fluctuations combine with elastic collisions to change the momentum distribution of a trapped non-degene…
Illustration of Babinet's principle with ultracold atoms
Aaron Reinhard, Jean-Félix Riou, Laura A. Zundel +1
We demonstrate Babinet's principle by the absorption of high intensity light from dense clouds of ultracold atoms. Images of the diffracted light are directly related to the spatia…
Self-trapping in an array of coupled 1D Bose gases
Aaron Reinhard, Jean-Félix Riou, Laura A. Zundel +4
We study the transverse expansion of arrays of ultracold Rb atoms weakly confined in tubes created by a 2D optical lattice, and observe that transverse expansion is delayed…
