This contribution presents numerical simulations of N-electron dynamics in heterocyclic five-membered ring molecules to shed light on the effect of molecular symmetry on charge migration. Laser-driven dynamics is studied using the hybrid…
Extracting electroweak observables from experiments on atomic parity violation (APV) using the Stark interference technique requires accurate knowledge of transition polarizabilities. In cesium, the focus of our paper, the…
Ultracold polar molecules uniquely combine a rich structure of long-lived internal states with access to controllable long-range, anisotropic dipole-dipole interactions. In particular, the rotational states of polar molecules confined in…
We present a novel technique for in-vacuum cavity-enhanced UV spectroscopy that allows nearly continuous measurements over several days, minimizing mirror degradation caused by high-power UV radiation. Our method relies on pulsing of the…
Recent theoretical predictions hint at an implementation of a superradiant laser based on narrow optical clock transitions by using a filtered thermal beam at high density. Corresponding numerical studies give encouraging results but the…
We study the excitation of Rydberg states in warm rubidium vapor. Using an inverted wavelength excitation scheme, we observe the effect of microwave coupling between Rydberg states through electromagnetically induced transparency. We…
Tunneling ionization is at the core of strong-field and attosecond science. In this paper, we present PyStructureFactor - a general Python code towards the calculation of the structure factor in the tunneling ionization rate of common…
We present precise measurements of the quantum defects of cesium $n$F$_J$ Rydberg levels. We employ high-precision microwave spectroscopy of $(n+2)\mathrm{D}_{5/2}\rightarrow n\mathrm{F}_{5/2,7/2}$ transitions for $n=45$ to 50 in a…
Laser cooling of single atoms in optical tweezers is a prerequisite for neutral atom quantum computing and simulation. Resolved sideband cooling comprises a well-established method for efficient motional ground-state preparation, but…
Vapour cell spectroscopy is an essential technique in many fields; in particular, nearly all atom and ion trapping experiments rely on simultaneous spectroscopy of two atomic transitions, traditionally employing separate apparatus for each…
We investigate, based on the coupled dipole model, collective properties of dense Sr ensembles trapped in a three-dimensional (3D) optical lattice in the presence of dipole-dipole interactions induced on the…
Divalent atoms and ions with a singlet $S$ ground state and triplet $P$ excited state form the basis of many high-precision optical atomic clocks. Along with the metastable $^{3}\mathrm{P}_{0}$ clock state, these atomic systems also have a…
We present a theoretical method to calculate Delbr\"uck scattering amplitudes for photon energies above the electron-positron pair production threshold. The method is based on the application of the relativistic Dirac-Coulomb Green function…
Polyatomic molecules have been identified as sensitive probes of charge-parity violating and parity-violating physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). For example, many linear triatomic molecules are both laser-coolable and have parity…
We combine nanophotonics and cold atom research in a new apparatus enabling the delivery of single-atom tweezer arrays in the vicinity of photonic crystal waveguides.
Lithium and lithium-like elements look like hydrogen atoms if their two electrons and the nucleus are considered a core around which a single electron is orbiting. The energy and radii expressions for hydrogen atoms can be used for lithium…
We present an experimental setup to laser cool and trap a large number of Ytterbium atoms. Our design uses an oven with an array of microtubes for efficient collimation of the atomic beam and we implement a magneto-optical trap of…
Probing vibronic coherence in molecules has been a central topic in ultrafast science, as it is an essential prerequisite to monitoring electronic motion. While experiments have demonstrated that attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy…
The autoionization of core-excited Rydberg states is theoretically studied for a broad range of principal and angular-momentum quantum numbers $n$ and $\ell$ in alkaline-earth-metal atoms. We combined two theoretical methods to calculate…
As a step toward the full \emph{ab-initio} description of two-photon double ionization processes, we present a finite-pulse version of the virtual-sequential model for polyelectronic atoms. The model relies on the \emph{ab initio}…
