Detection of Gravitational Waves using Parametric Resonance in Bose-Einstein Condensates
MPG Robbins, N Afshordi, AO Jamison, RB Mann
arXiv preprint arXiv:2101.03691
Previous work suggested that a passing gravitational wave would produce individual quanta of sound,called phonons, in a BEC or imprint a measureable phase profile on phonons already in the BEC. We consider a way to amplify this effect and then look at practical questions about how such an experiment could really be done. We find that intensity noise in the lasers trapping the BEC presents both technical and fundamental challenges for such measurements.

Enhancing the capture velocity of a Dy magneto-optical trap with two-stage slowing

Physical Review A 101 (6), 063403
We describe experiments producing a magneto-optical trap (MOT) for dysprosium (Dy) atoms. Dy has a weak transition that allows for very low MOT temperatures. However, it also reduces the capture velocity of the MOT, making initial loading more difficult than for a MOT using the strong transition. We add a second stage of slowing after the Zeeman slower to solve this low capture velocity issue and demonstrate enhanced loading rates.

An atomic physics perspective on the kilogram’s new definition
W Ketterle, AO Jamison
Physics Today 73(5), 32 (2020)
In 2019 the kilogram was officially redefined by fixing the value of Planck’s constant. This follows the precedent set when the speed of light was given a fixed value, thus defining the meter, when combined with the existing definition of the second. We recount a bit of this history and then explore the new kilogram in terms familiar to atomic physicists: Namely, we see how the kilogram is a just a frequency, once you fix the speed of light and Planck’s constant. We discuss a variety of ways one might measure this frequency, from the conceptual to the practical.

Collisional cooling of ultracold molecules

We achieve, for the first time, collisional cooling of molecules below 100mK. We cool triplet NaLi molecules using a bath of Na atoms down to 240nK, showing a 20-fold increase in phase-space density. This behavior is surprising since Na + NaLi is a chemically reactive system not expected to show collisional stability of any kind, much less show stability sufficient to achieve strong cooling. This work sets the stage for achieving deep quantum degeneracy in molecular systems.
