We study telecom-wavelength spectra of a Rydberg state in an atomic vapor with a three-photon excitation scheme. Two lasers of 780 nm and 776 nm are used to pump Rubidium-85 atoms in a vapor cell to the $5D_{\mathrm{5/2}}$ state, from which…
By utilizing the quadratic dependency of the interferometry phase on time, the Hannover Very Long Baseline Atom Interferometer facility (VLBAI) aims for sub nm/s$^2$ gravity measurement sensitivity. With its 10 m vertical baseline, VLBAI…
The article discusses how the pattern of elastic scattering of an electron on a pair of identical atomic spheres will look if we abandon the standard in the molecular physics assumption that, outside the molecular sphere, in the external…
We demonstrate that several metastable excited states in Hf$~$II, Hf$~$IV and W$~$VI ions may be good clock states since they are sufficiently long-living and are not sensitive to the perturbations. Cooling E1 transitions are available.…
We demonstrate how simultaneously-operated $^{39}$K -- $^{87}$Rb interferometers exhibiting a high level of correlation can be used to make competitive tests of the university of free fall. This work provides an overview of our experimental…
Experiments in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics require precise and accurate control of digital, analog, and radio frequency (RF) signals. We present a control hardware based on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) core which…
We investigate the effect of series perturbation on the second order dipole-dipole interactions between strontium atoms in the $5sns({^1}S_0)$ and $5snp({^1}P_1)$ Rydberg states as a means of engineering long-range interactions between…

The relative intensity distribution in the rotationally resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectra belonging to the $E(4)^1\Sigma^+\to (a^3\Sigma^+_1,X^1\Sigma^+)$ band systems of the KCs molecule was analyzed. The experimental intensities…
We consider higher-order corrections to hyperfine coefficients related to the spin-orbit and spin-spin tensor interactions in hydrogen molecular ions. The $m\alpha^7 \ln(\alpha)$-order radiative correction is derived in the NRQED framework.…
We study bosonic systems in the regime in which the two-body system has a shallow bound state or, equivalently, a large value of the two-body scattering length. Using the effective field theory framework as a guide, we construct a series of…
We report our experiment on sideband cooling with two Raman transitions in a $\Lambda$ configuration that allows selective coherent population trapping (CPT) of the motional ground state. The cooling method is applied to $^{87}$Rb atoms in…
We present relativistic many-body calculations of atomic and molecular Schiff-moment interaction constants including interelectron correlation effects using atomic Gaussian basis sets specifically optimized for the Schiff interaction. Our…
We study the robustness of quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement-induced entanglement between Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs). We consider an experimental scheme where two BECs are placed in the paths of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer,…
We demonstrate the use of a single trapped ion as a sensor to probe electric-field noise from interchangeable test surfaces. As proof of principle, we measure the magnitude and distance dependence of electric-field noise from two…
Two-dimensional regular arrays of atoms are a promising platform for quantum networks, with collective subradiant states providing long-lived storage and collimated emission allowing for natural coherent links between arrays in free space.…

Optical atomic clocks are our most precise tools to measure time and frequency. They enable precision frequency comparisons between atoms in separate locations to probe the space-time variation of fundamental constants, the properties of…
Atom-based radio frequency electromagnetic field sensing using atomic Rydberg states is a promising technique that has recently attracted significant interest. Its unique advantages, such as extraordinary bandwidth, self-calibration and…
