Measuring densities of cold atomic clouds smaller than the resolution limit
Andrea Litvinov, Pierre Bataille, Etienne Maréchal +4
We propose and demonstrate an experimental method to measure by absorption imaging the size and local column density of a cloud of atoms, even when its smallest dimension is smalle…
Adiabatic spin-dependent momentum transfer in an SU(N) degenerate Fermi gas
P. Bataille, A. Litvinov, I. Manai +7
We introduce a spin-orbit coupling scheme, where a retro-reflected laser beam selectively diffracts two spin components in opposite directions. Spin sensitivity is provided by swee…
Shelving spectroscopy of the strontium intercombination line
I. Manai, A. Molineri, C. Fréjaville +8
We present a spectroscopy scheme for the 7-kHz-wide 689-nm intercombination line of strontium. We rely on shelving detection, where electrons are first excited to a metastable stat…
Dissipative cooling of spin chains by a bath of dipolar particles
M. Robert-de-Saint-Vincent, P. Pedri, B. Laburthe-Tolra
We consider a spin chain of fermionic atoms in an optical lattice, interacting with each other by super-exchange interactions. We theoretically investigate the dissipative evolutio…
Spontaneous avalanche ionization of a strongly blockaded Rydberg gas
M. Robert-de-Saint-Vincent, C. S. Hofmann, H. Schempp +3
We report the sudden and spontaneous evolution of an initially correlated gas of repulsively interacting Rydberg atoms to an ultracold plasma. Under continuous laser coupling we cr…
