We describe the cold-atom vacuum standards (CAVS) under development at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The CAVS measures pressure in the ultra …

We report on the fast production and weakly destructive detection of a Fermi gas with
tunable interactions in a high finesse cavity. The cavity is used both with far off-resonant light …

Single particle resolution is a requirement for numerous experimental protocols that emulate
the dynamics of small systems in a bath. Here, we accurately resolve through atom counting …

Magnetic Feshbach resonances are a key tool in the field of ultracold quantum gases, but
their full exploitation requires the generation of large, stable magnetic fields up to 1000 G …

We create a pair of symmetric Bitter-type electromagnet assemblies capable of producing
multiple field configurations including uniform magnetic fields, spherical quadruple traps, or …

Synthetic quantum systems present a highly controllable platform for understanding
fundamental physics and development of associated technological applications. This thesis …

This thesis reports on the realization of the first experiments conducted with superfluid,
strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6Li coupled to the light field of an optical cavity. In the …

In this chapter we report an important system upgrade made in 2021. We replace our first
generation NA (Numerical aperture NA≡ n sin θ, where the refractive index of the medium …

We report on the stochastic dynamics of a few sodium atoms immersed in a cold potassium
cloud. The studies are realized in a dual-species magneto-optical trap by continuously …
