High Compression Blue-Detuned Magneto-Optical Trap of Polyatomic Molecules
Christian Hallas, Grace K. Li, Nathaniel B. Vilas +3
We demonstrate a blue-detuned magneto-optical trap (MOT) of a polyatomic molecule, calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). We identify a novel MOT frequency configuration that produces high…
An optical tweezer array of ultracold polyatomic molecules
Nathaniel B. Vilas, Paige Robichaud, Christian Hallas +3
Polyatomic molecules have rich structural features that make them uniquely suited to applications in quantum information science, quantum simulation, ultracold chemistry, and searc…
Raman sideband cooling of molecules in an optical tweezer array to the 3-D motional ground state
Yicheng Bao, Scarlett S. Yu, Jiaqi You +5
Ultracold polar molecules are promising for quantum information processing and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. Laser cooling to ultracold temperatures is an establi…
Blackbody thermalization and vibrational lifetimes of trapped polyatomic molecules
Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas, Loïc Anderegg +5
We study the internal state dynamics of optically trapped polyatomic molecules subject to room temperature blackbody radiation. Using rate equations that account for radiative deca…
Direct Laser Cooling of Polyatomic Molecules
Benjamin L. Augenbraun, Loic Anderegg, Christian Hallas +3
Over the past decade, tremendous progress has been made to extend the tools of laser cooling and trapping to molecules. Those same tools have recently been applied to polyatomic mo…
