JILA and NIST Researchers Develop Miniature Lens for Trapping Atoms

Graphical illustration of light focusing using a planar glass surface studded with millions of nanopillars (referred to as a metalens) forming an optical tweezer. (A) Device cross section depicts plane waves of light that come to a focus through secondary wavelets generated by nanopillars of varying size. (B) The same metalens is used to trap and image single rubidium atoms.

Connecting Microwave and Optical Frequencies through the Ground State of a Micromechanical Object

The transducer developed by the Lehnert and Regal research groups uses side-banded cooling to convert microwave photons to optical photons

New Research Reveals A More Robust Qubit System, even with a Stronger Laser Light

An illustration of the efficient and continuously operating electro-optomechanical transducer whose mechanical mode has been optically sideband-cooled to its quantum ground state. This is the tool that will be used to convert microwave photons into optical photons to eventually send quantum signals over long distances.

An Atomic Game of Duck, Duck, Goose

Selected atoms (green) within doubly occupied sites of a 2D "Fermi Sea" are excited by a polarized laser pulse. Pauli blocking prevents decay of the excited atoms (red) as they can only decay into unoccupied sites (black).
