Schwinger pair production with ultracold atoms [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 2016 We consider a system of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice as a quantum simulator for electron–positron pair production in quantum electrodynamics (QED).

Alternative techniques for the production and manipulation of ultracold atoms [PDF]
, 2012 This Thesis contains details of the construction and characterisation of a compact apparatus for the cooling of ultracold atoms to quantum degeneracy, and their manipulation in flexible holographic optical traps. We have designed and built two iterations

Optomechanical coupling between ultracold atoms and a membrane oscillator [PDF]
, 2014 In this thesis, I report on the realization of a hybrid optomechanical system in which ultracold atoms are coupled to a micromechanical membrane. The atoms are trapped in the intensity maxima of an optical standing wave formed by retroreflection of a ...

Phase-engineered light patterns for ultracold atom experiments [PDF]
, 2015 We present advances in the use of Spatial Light Modulators for the manipulation of ultracold neutral atoms, by increasing the control over hologram calculation and the accuracy of experimental light patterns, and demonstrate multi-wavelength ...

Iterative precision measurement of branching ratios applied to 5P states in 88Sr+
New Journal of Physics, 2016 We report and demonstrate a method for measuring the branching ratios of dipole transitions of trapped atomic ions by performing nested sequences of population inversions.

Collisional relaxation of vibrational states of SrOH with He at 2 K
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Vibrational relaxation of strontium monohydroxide (SrOH) molecules in collisions with helium (He) at 2 K is studied. We find the diffusion cross section of SrOH at 2.2 K to be ${{\sigma }_{{\rm d}}}=(5\pm 2)\times {{10}^{-14}}\;{\rm c}{{{\rm m}}^{2 ...

One-dimensional array of ion chains coupled to an optical cavity
New Journal of Physics, 2013 We present a novel system where an optical cavity is integrated with a microfabricated planar-electrode ion trap. The trap electrodes produce a tunable periodic potential allowing the trapping of up to 50 separate ion chains aligned with the cavity and ...

Emulation of magneto-optic Faraday effect using ultracold atoms
New Journal of Physics, 2021 We propose an arresting scheme for emulating the famous Faraday effect in ultracold atomic gases. Inspired by the similarities between the light field and bosonic atoms, we represent the light propagation in medium by the atomic transport in accompany of

Buffer gas loaded magneto-optical traps for Yb, Tm, Er and Ho
New Journal of Physics, 2014 Direct loading of lanthanide atoms into magneto-optical traps (MOTs) from a very slow cryogenic buffer gas beam source is achieved, without the need for laser slowing. The beam source has an average forward velocity of 60– $70\;{\rm m}\;{{{\rm s}}^{-1}}$
