We calculate the shift in the atomic energy levels induced by the presence of a scalar field which couples to matter and photons. We find that a combination of atomic measurements can be used to probe both these couplings independently. A…
In quantum technologies, point defects in semiconductors are becoming more significant. Understanding the frequency, intensity, and polarization of the zero phonon line is important. The last two properties are the subject of this paper. I…
We consider the consequences of a neutral dark-matter particle with a nonzero electric and/or magnetic dipole moment. Theoretical constraints, as well as constraints from direct searches, precision tests of the standard model, the cosmic…
Optical lattice clocks of fermionic strontium offer a versatile platform for probing fundamental physics and developing quantum technologies. The bivalent electronic structure of strontium gives rise to a doubly-forbidden atomic transition…
Frequency light shifts resulting from the localization effects and effects of the quantization of translational atomic motion in an optical lattice is studied for a forbidden optical transition $J$=0$\to$$J$=0. In the Lamb-Dicke regime this…
Magic trapping of ground and Rydberg states, which equalizes the AC Stark shifts of these two levels, enables increased ground-to-Rydberg state coherence times. We measure via photon storage and retrieval how the ground-to-Rydberg state…
The five longest tune-out wavelengths for the potassium atom are determined using a relativistic structure model which treats the atom as consisting of a single valence electron moving outside a closed shell core. The importance of various…
New sources of CP violation beyond the Standard Model of particle physics could be revealed in the laboratory by measuring a non-zero electric dipole moment (EDM) of a spin 1/2 particle such as the neutron. Despite the great sensitivity…
We demonstrate that the differential ac-Stark shift of a ground-state hyperfine transition in an optical trap can be eliminated by using properly polarized trapping light. We use the vector polarizability of an alkali-metal atom to produce…
Magic wavelengths for laser trapping of boson isotopes of alkaline-earth Sr, Ca and Mg atoms are investigated while considering terahertz clock transitions between the $^{3}P_{0}, ^{3}P_{1}, ^{3}P_{2}$ metastable triplet states. Our…
Using an atom interferometer, we have measured the static electric polarizability of $^7$Li $\alpha =(24.33 \pm 0.16)\times10^{-30} $ m$^3$ $= 164.19\pm 1.08 $ atomic units with a 0.66% uncertainty. Our experiment, which is similar to an…
Using a single trapped barium ion we have developed an rf spectroscopy technique to measure the ratio of the off-resonant vector ac Stark effect (or light shift) in the 6S_{1/2} and 5D_{3/2} states to 0.1% precision. We find R = Delta_S /…
The recently-discovered narrow charmonium resonance near 3870 MeV is interpreted as a hadronic molecule whose constituents are the charm mesons D^0 and \bar D^{*0} or \bar D^0 and D^{*0}. Because of an accidental fine-tuning of the molecule…
The static and dynamic electric dipole polarizabilities of the $5s^2~^1\!S_0$ and $5s5p~^3\!P_{0,2}$ states of Sr atoms are calculated using the relativistic configuration interaction plus the many-body perturbation theory (RCI+MBPT)…
The present paper aims at finding optimal parameters for trapping of Cs$_2$ molecules in optical lattices, with the perspective of creating a quantum degenerate gas of ground-state molecules. We have calculated dynamic polarizabilities of…
The Standard Model of particle physics assumes that the so-called fundamental constants are universal and unchanging. Absorption lines arising in molecular clouds along quasar sightlines offer a precise test for variations in the…
Generically, the effective coupling between the dark matter and an atom scales with the number of constituents in the atom, resulting in the effective coupling being proportional to the mass of the atom. In this limit, when the momentum…
Future neutrino experiments at low energies such as JUNO or THEIA will use large volume homogeneous liquid scintillator detectors. The optical attenuation length of the liquid is of uttermost importance for the successful realization of…
We carry out relativistic many-body calculations of the static and dynamic dipole polarizabilities of the ground $6s^2 ^1S_0$ and the first excited $6s6p ^3P^o_0$ states of Yb. With these polarizabilities, we compute several properties of…
We sense the motion of a trapped atomic ion using a sequence of state-dependent ultrafast momentum kicks. We use this atom interferometer to characterize a nearly-pure quantum state with $n=1$ phonon and accurately measure thermal states…
