Quantum electrodynamics predicts identity of incident and emitted photons in stimulated emission. This fundamental law is important to test experimentally. In this work stimulated emission in GaAs semiconductor amplifier was investigated…
Within the framework of the theory of irreducible tensor operators, using well-known general analytical results for double sums ($\sum_{jm}$) of products of two $3j$-Wigner symbols, analytical expressions for single sums ($\sum_m$) for the…
Extending quantum control to increasingly complex systems is crucial for both advancing quantum technologies and fundamental physics. In trapped ion systems, quantum logic techniques that combine a well-controlled logic species with a more…
Theoretical considerations are made for the nuclear excitation from the ground state to the 8 eV $^{229m}$Th isomer via near-resonant electron transitions in Sb-like ($q=39+$) thorium ions. The energy of the first excited atomic state…
This work presents a perturbative calculation methodology for evaluating the energy shifts and broadening of vibrational energy levels, caused by interactions between bound and unbound dissociative electronic states. The method is validated…
The recombination of halogen atoms has been a research topic in chemical physics for over a century. All theoretical descriptions of atom recombination depend on a two-step assumption, where two colliding atoms first form an unstable…
Investigating $K$-shell hollow atom spectra enhances our understanding of femtosecond phenomena in atomic physics, chemistry, and biology. Synchrotron measurements of two-electron one-photon (TEOP) transitions in low-$Z$ atoms have revealed…
We investigate simultaneous multiphoton-multiatom (MPMA) processes in atomic gases subjected to laser fields. Our study reveals that the composite factor governing the transition rate of these processes can reach extraordinarily high…
We demonstrate sub-Doppler cooling of calcium atoms using a two-photon transition from the ${^1}S_0$ ground state to the upper $4s5s~{^1}S_0$ state via the ${^1}P_1$ intermediate state. We achieve temperatures as low as $260~\mu\text{K}$ in…
In the nonrelativistic many-electron approximation of the theory of photoionization of the atom in the formalism of secondary quantization and the theory of irreducible tensor operators, analytical structures for the quadrupole transition…
We analyzed bichromatic and polychromatic stimulated forces for laser cooling and trapping of Yb atoms using only the narrow $^1S_0\rightarrow^3P_1$ transition. Our model is based on numerical solutions of optical Bloch equations for…
We explore the interaction quench dynamics of two atoms with different masses and subject to different trapping potentials. Notably, under such anisotropic conditions, the nonequilibrium dynamics can lead to the occupation of molecular…
In this study, we investigate the effect of buffer gas and magnetic field on the spectral line shapes of the potassium D1 transition using sealed vapour cells filled with varying amounts of neon as a buffer gas. Employing a dual-temperature…
The utility of inertial sensors depends on resilience against real-world dynamics and noise. Atom interferometry offers a sensing technology with the advantage of good long-term stability, high sensitivity, and accuracy. High measurement…
We probe resonant dipolar interactions between ultracold $^{40}$K$^{87}$Rb molecules and Rydberg $^{87}$Rb atoms in an optically trapped ensemble. Through state-selective ionization detection of the KRb molecules, we observe resonant energy…
We have developed a simple analytic formula that well describes quadrupole $l$-changing collisions of the form $nl \rightarrow nl'$, as confirmed by comparison with numerical quantal Born calculations obtained with the program autostructure…
Experimental control over the strength and angular dependence of interactions between atoms is a key capability for advancing quantum technologies. Here, we use microwave dressing to manipulate and enhance Rydberg-Rydberg interactions in an…
Basics of the Born-Oppenheimer (B-O) approximation are reviewed. Assuming the domain of applicability of B-O approximation is limited to 4 significant digits (s.d.) in energy spectrum, where mass, relativistic and QED corrections do NOT…
Atom interferometery is an exquisite measurement technique sensitive to inertial forces. However, it is commonly limited to a single sensitive axis, allowing high-precision multi-dimensional sensing only through subsequent or post-corrected…
We investigate simultaneous multiphoton-multiatom processes in atomic gases exposed to laser fields under specific frequency conditions, where multiple atoms are simultaneously excited through the absorption of one laser photon each. These…
