Magnetic Feshbach resonances have allowed great success in the production of ultracold diatomic molecules from bi-alkali mixtures, but have so far eluded observation in mixtures of alkali and alkaline-earth-like atoms. Inelastic collisional…
Two-photon Raman excitation between the ground hyperfine states $|5 \ ^2S_{1/2}, F = 2\rangle$ and $|5 \ ^2S_{1/2}, F = 1\rangle$ of $^{87}$Rb atom has been experimentally studied. The Rabi coupling strengths of various transition involved…
Feshbach association of ultracold molecules using narrow resonances requires exquisite control of the applied magnetic field. Here we present a magnetic field control system to deliver magnetic fields of over 1000 G with ppm-level precision…
We consider the magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances that may exist in ultracold mixtures of molecules in $^2\Sigma$ states and alkali-metal atoms. We focus on Rb+CaF as a prototype system. There are likely to be Feshbach resonances…
The response of an atom to external electric and magnetic fields can reveal fundamental atomic properties. It has long been verified that, in a static magnetic field, those atomic energy levels with hyperfine interactions shift according to…
A rigorous quantum theory of atomic collisions in the presence of radio frequency (rf) magnetic fields is developed and applied to elucidate the effects of combined dc and rf magnetic fields on elastic scattering in ultracold collisions of…
Inelastic collision rates for ultracold $^{85}$Rb atoms in the F=2 m$_{f}$=-2 state have been measured as a function of magnetic field. Dramatic change in the vicinity of a Feshbach resonance at 155 G was observed. Similar to the elastic…
We report a unique feature of magnetic field Feshbach resonances in which atoms collide with non-zero orbital angular momentum. P-wave ($l=1$) Feshbach resonances are split into two components depending on the magnitude of the resonant…
We study the Feshbach resonance of spin-1/2 particles in the presence of a uniform synthetic non-Abelian gauge field that produces spin orbit coupling along with constant spin potentials. We develop a renormalizable quantum field theory…
We develop a theoretical model to describe the radio-frequency (rf) induced coupling of a pair of colliding atoms to a Feshbach molecule when a magnetic field arbitrarily far from the Feshbach resonance is modulated in time. We use the…
The Rabi oscillations of a two-level atom illuminated by a laser on resonance with the atomic transition may be suppressed by the atomic motion through averaging or filtering mechanisms. The optical analogs of these velocity effects are…
We theoretically explore a Rashba spin-orbit coupling scheme which operates entirely in the absolute ground state manifold of an alkali atom, thereby minimizing all inelastic processes. An energy gap between ground eigenstates of the…
Magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances exist in ultracold collisions between atoms in $^2$S and $^3$P$_0$ states, such as an alkali-metal atom colliding with Yb or Sr in a clock state. We investigate the mechanisms of these resonances and…
We present a simple technique for studying collisions of ultracold atoms in the presence of a magnetic field and radio-frequency radiation (rf). Resonant control of scattering properties can be achieved by using rf to couple a colliding…
A magnetic field dependent Feshbach resonance has been observed in the elastic scattering collision rate between atoms in the F = 2, M = -2 state of 85 Rb. Changing the magnetic field by several Gauss caused the collision rate to vary by a…
Magnetic Feshbach resonances are an invaluable tool for controlling ultracold atoms and molecules. They can be used to tune atomic interactions and have been used extensively to explore few- and many-body phenomena. They can also be used…
The Rabi frequency (coupling strength) of an electric-dipole transition is an important experimental parameter in laser-cooling and other atomic physics experiments. Though the relationship between Rabi frequency and atomic wavefunctions…
We report a pronounced dependence of magnetic Feshbach resonance spectra on the initial hyperfine-Zeeman state of Li in ultracold $^{138}$Ba$^+$+$^6$Li collisions. The measured number and distribution of resonances differ significantly…
Coherent conversion between a Raman pump field and its Stokes field is observed in a Raman process with a strong atomic spin wave initially prepared by another Raman process operated in the stimulated emission regime. The oscillatory…
We present an accurate quantum mechanical study of molecule-molecule collisions in the presence of a magnetic field. The work focusses on the analysis of elastic scattering and spin relaxation in collisions of O2(3Sigma_g) molecules at cold…
