Atomic gravimeter robust to environmental effects
Cristian D. Panda, Matt Tao, Miguel Ceja +2
Atomic accelerometers and gravimeters are usually based on freely-falling atoms in atomic fountains, which not only limits their size, but also their robustness to environmental fa…
Probing Gravity for one Minute with an Optical-Lattice Atom Interferometer
C. D. Panda, M. Tao, J. Eggelhof +4
We have realized an atom interferometer that probes gravitational potentials by holding, rather than dropping, atoms. Up to one minute of coherence times are realized by suspending…
Dynamics of a buffer-gas-loaded, deep optical trap for molecules
Ashwin Singh, Lothar Maisenbacher, Ziguang Lin +3
We describe an approach to optically trapping small, chemically stable molecules at cryogenic temperatures by buffer-gas loading a deep optical dipole trap. The ~10 K trap depth wi…
High-sensitivity low-noise photodetector using large-area silicon photomultiplier
Takahiko Masuda, Ayami Hiramoto, Daniel G. Ang +9
The application of silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) technology for weak-light detection at a single photon level has expanded thanks to its better photon detection efficiency in comp…
SiPM module for the ACME III electron EDM search
A. Hiramoto, T. Masuda, D. G. Ang +9
This report shows the design and the performance of a large area Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) module developed detection of fluorescent light emitted from a 10 cm scale volume. T…
Coherence limits in lattice atom interferometry at the one-minute scale
Cristian D. Panda, Matthew Tao, James Egelhoff +3
In quantum metrology and quantum simulation, a coherent non-classical state must be manipulated before unwanted interactions with the environment lead to decoherence. In atom inter…
Snowmass 2021 White Paper: Tabletop experiments for infrared quantum gravity
Daniel Carney, Yanbei Chen, Andrew Geraci +4
Progress in the quantum readout and control of mechanical devices from single atoms to large masses may enable a first generation of experiments probing the gravitational interacti…
Simple Self-calibrating Polarimeter for Measuring the Stokes Parameters of Light
Vitaly Wirthl, Cristian D. Panda, Paul W. Hess +1
A simple, self-calibrating, rotating-waveplate polarimeter is largely insensitive to light intensity fluctuations and is shown to be useful for determining the Stokes parameters of…
Raman transitions driven by phase-modulated light in a cavity atom interferometer
Sofus L. Kristensen, Matt Jaffe, Victoria Xu +2
Atom interferometers in optical cavities benefit from strong laser intensities and high-quality wavefronts. The laser frequency pairs that are needed for driving Raman transitions…
The metastable Q state of ThO: A new resource for the ACME electron EDM search
Xing Wu, Zhen Han, James Chow +7
The best upper limit for the electron electric dipole moment was recently set by the ACME collaboration. This experiment measures an electron spin-precession in a cold beam of ThO…
Roadmap on STIRAP applications
Klaas Bergmann, Hanns-Christoph Nägerl, Cristian Panda +31
STIRAP (Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage) is a powerful laser-based method, usually involving two photons, for efficient and selective transfer of population between quantum stat…
Probing gravity by holding atoms for 20 seconds
Victoria Xu, Matt Jaffe, Cristian D. Panda +3
Atom interferometers are powerful tools for both measurements in fundamental physics and inertial sensing applications. Their performance, however, has been limited by the availabl…
Attaining the shot-noise-limit in the ACME measurement of the electron electric dipole moment
C. D. Panda, C. Meisenhelder, M. Verma +7
Experimental searches for the electron electric dipole moment, , probe new physics beyond the Standard Model. Recently, the ACME Collaboration set a new limit of $|d_e| <1.1\t…
A self-calibrating polarimeter to measure Stokes parameters
V. Wirthl, C. D. Panda, P. W. Hess +2
An easily constructed and operated polarimeter precisely determines the relative Stokes parameters that characterize the polarization of laser light. The polarimeter is calibrated…
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…
STIRAP preparation of a coherent superposition of ThO states for an improved electron EDM measurement

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…
