Impulsive Spin-Motion Entanglement for Fast Quantum Computation and Sensing
Randall Putnam, Adam D. West, Wesley C. Campbell +1
We perform entanglement of spin and motional degrees of freedom of a single, ground-state trapped ion through the application of a ps laser pulse. The duration of the interact…
Tunable transverse spin-motion coupling for quantum information processing
Adam D West, Randall Putnam, Wesley C Campbell +1
Laser-controlled entanglement between atomic qubits (`spins') and collective motion in trapped ion Coulomb crystals requires conditional momentum transfer from the laser. Since the…
Systematic Effects in 2D Trapped Matter-Wave Interferometers
Adam D. West
Trapped matter-wave interferometers (TMIs) present a platform for precision sensing within a compact apparatus, extending coherence time by repeated traversal of a confining potent…
An Underappreciated Radiation Hazard from High Voltage Electrodes in Vacuum
Adam West, Zack Lasner, David DeMille +6
The use of high voltage (HV) electrodes in vacuum is commonplace in physics laboratories. In such systems, it has long been known that electron emission from an HV cathode can lead…
Lepton Dipole Moments
Adam West
Review of lepton dipole moments produced for the Physics In Collision 2015 conference.
STIRAP preparation of a coherent superposition of ThO states for an improved electron EDM measurement
C. D. Panda, B. R. O'Leary, A. D. West +9
Experimental searches for the electron electric dipole moment (EDM) probe new physics beyond the Standard Model. The current best EDM limit was set by the ACME Collaboration [Scien…
Order of Magnitude Smaller Limit on the Electric Dipole Moment of the Electron
ACME Collaboration, Jacob Baron, Wesley C. Campbell +15
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics fails to explain dark matter and why matter survived annihilation with antimatter following the Big Bang. Extensions to the SM, such as…
Piezoelectrically-actuated time-averaged atomic microtraps
Adam D. West, Christopher G. Wade, Kevin J. Weatherill +1
We present a scheme for creating tight and adiabatic time-averaged atom-traps through the piezoelectric actuation of nanomagnetic structures. We show that potentials formed by the…
Manipulating ultracold atoms with a reconfigurable nanomagnetic system of domain walls
Adam D. West, Kevin J. Weatherill, Thomas J. Hayward +6
The divide between the realms of atomic-scale quantum particles and lithographically-defined nanostructures is rapidly being bridged. Hybrid quantum systems comprising ultracold ga…
Nanomagnetic engineering of the properties of domain wall atom traps
Thomas J. Hayward, Adam D. West, Kevin J. Weatherill +3
We have used the results of micromagnetic simulations to investigate the effects of nanowire geometry and domain wall magnetization structure on the characteristic parameters of ma…
A simple model for calculating magnetic nanowire domain wall fringing fields
Adam West, Thomas Hayward, Kevin Weatherill +3
We present a new approach to calculating magnetic fringing fields from head-to-head type domain walls in planar magnetic nanowires. In contrast to calculations based on micromagnet…
Design and Characterization of a Field-Switchable Nanomagnetic Atom Mirror
T. J. Hayward, A. D. West, K. J. Weatherill +9
We present a design for a switchable nanomagnetic atom mirror formed by an array of 180° domain walls confined within Ni80Fe20 planar nanowires. A simple analytical model is develo…
