A proposed experiment that would involve trapping atoms on a two-layered laser grid could be used to study the mechanism ...

Now a Japanese company has commercialized one approach—an optical-lattice clock it claims is the most accurate on the market.

An optical lattice clock is a type of atomic clock that ... along with the laser and control system used for trapping and spectroscopy of atoms, was miniaturized. This innovation reduced the ...

QEPNT Hub develops quantum-enabled navigation technologies, addressing GNSS vulnerabilities and enhancing resilience for ...

Accurate frequency measurements of a narrow optical clock transition in 171 Yb atoms trapped in an optical lattice establish this system as a serious contender in the quest to develop increasingly ...

First, each atom cooled by laser is captured in a 3-D micro space (optical lattice), which is created by interference of laser beams with special wavelength called the "magic wavelength," to prevent ...

its compact optical lattice timepiece, released on March 5, is a kind of strontium atom clock. Using a specialized laser beam called the “magic wavelength,” the clock confines atoms within a ...

This project is supported by the QuantIC imaging and sensing hub. Quantum-enhanced inertial sensing with ultracold atoms trapped in phase-modulated (or shaken) optical lattices. We hope to build a ...

These interference patterns, known as moiré superlattices, give rise to novel electronic, optical, and mechanical properties that are not present in the individual layers. A graphene layer (black) of ...

The silicon atom is located at the center of a split-vacancy configuration, with the two missing carbon atoms ... the direct optical transition between the ground and excited states of the SiV center, ...
