Continuous momentum state lasing and cavity frequency-pinning with laser-cooled strontium atoms

V. M. Schäfer, Z. Niu, J. R. K. Cline +4

Laser-cooled gases of atoms interacting with the field of an optical cavity are a powerful tool for quantum sensing and the simulation of open and closed quantum systems. They can…
