We propose a scheme for realizing quantum repeaters with Rydberg-blockade-coupled
atomic ensembles, based on a recently proposed collective encoding strategy. Rydberg …

Inherent binary or collective interactions in ensembles of quantum emitters induce a spread
in the energy and lifetime of their eigenstates. While this typically causes fast decay and …

We demonstrate the two-color cooling and trapping of alkaline-earth atoms in a grating
magneto-optical trap (GMOT). The trap is formed by a single incident laser beam together …

The majority of molecules proposed for laser cooling and trapping experiments have Σ-type
ground states. Specifically, 2 Σ states have cycling transitions analogous to D 1 lines in alkali …

We herein report a simultaneous frequency stabilization of two 780-nm external cavity diode
lasers using a precision wavelength meter (WLM). The laser lock performance is …

The exploration of quantum physics has heralded a new era of quantum sensors with
improved measurement precision compared to conventional systems. Quantum sensors …

Recording the fluorescence of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) is a standard tool for measuring
atom numbers in experiments with ultracold atoms. When trapping few atoms in a small …

The majority of molecules proposed for laser cooling and trapping experiments have
$\Sigma $-type ground states. Specifically, $^ 2\Sigma $ states have cycling transitions …

This thesis presents the study of atomic cloud density and temperature in a magnetooptical
trap (MOT). The purpose is to find the method in obtaining the densest and coldest cloud the …

Ultracold optical lattice atomic clocks have made it to the forefront of timekeeping and
spectroscopy over the last decade. A prominent example, that features a relative precision of …
