Atomtronics deals with matter-wave circuits of ultracold atoms manipulated through
magnetic or laser-generated guides with different shapes and intensities. In this way, new …

A form of quantum control is proposed by applying twisted light, also known as optical vortex
beams, to drive ultranarrow atomic transitions in neutral Ca, Mg, Yb, Sr, Hg, and Cd bosonic …

Transversely loaded bidimensional-magneto-optical-traps (2D-MOTs) have been recently
developed as high flux sources for cold strontium atoms to realize a new generation of …

Topology, geometry, and gauge fields play key roles in quantum physics as exemplified by
fundamental phenomena such as the Aharonov–Bohm effect, the integer quantum Hall …

We describe an experimental apparatus capable of achieving a high loading rate of
strontium atoms in a magneto-optical trap operating in a high vacuum environment. A key …

We consider the two-dimensional motion of a particle in a confining potential, subject to
Brownian orthogonal forces associated with two different temperatures. Exact solutions are …

Many predictions of Doppler-cooling theory of two-level atoms have never been verified in a
three-dimensional geometry, including the celebrated minimum achievable temperature ℏ …

A quasiresonant laser induces a long-range attractive force within a cloud of cold atoms. We
take advantage of this force to build in the laboratory a system of particles with a one …

We implement three-dimensional polarization gradient cooling (PGC) of trapped ions.
Counter-propagating laser beams near 393 nm impinge in lin⊥ lin configuration, at a …

We characterize the anisotropic differential ac-Stark shift for the Dy 626 nm intercombination
transition, induced in a far-detuned 1070 nm optical dipole trap, and observe the existence …
