Quasisimultons in Thermal Atomic Vapors (2019)
Journal Article
Ogden, T. P., Whittaker, K., Keaveney, J., Wrathmall, S., Adams, C., & Potvliege, R. (2019). Quasisimultons in Thermal Atomic Vapors. Physical Review Letters, 123(24), Article 243604. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.123.243604

The propagation of two-color laser fields through optically thick atomic ensembles is studied. We demonstrate how the interaction between these two fields spawns the formation of copropagating, two-color solitonlike pulses akin to the simultons found...

Zeeman-tunable modulation transfer spectroscopy (2019)
Journal Article
So, C., Spong, N. L., Möhl, C., Jiao, Y., Ilieva, T., & Adams, C. S. (2019). Zeeman-tunable modulation transfer spectroscopy. Optics Letters, 44(21), 5374-5377. https://doi.org/10.1364/ol.44.005374

Active frequency stabilization of a laser to an atomic or molecular resonance underpins many modern-day AMO physics experiments. With a flat background and high signal-to-noise ratio, modulation transfer spectroscopy (MTS) offers an accurate and stab... Read More about Zeeman-tunable modulation transfer spectroscopy.

Practical designs for permutation-symmetric problem Hamiltonians on hypercubes (2019)
Journal Article
Dodds, A. B., Kendon, V., Adams, C. S., & Chancellor, N. (2019). Practical designs for permutation-symmetric problem Hamiltonians on hypercubes. Physical Review A, 100(3), Article 032320. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.100.032320

We present a method to experimentally realize large-scale permutation-symmetric Hamiltonians for continuous-time quantum protocols such as quantum walks and adiabatic quantum computation. In particular, the method can be used to perform an encoded co... Read More about Practical designs for permutation-symmetric problem Hamiltonians on hypercubes.

Measurement of the atom-surface van der Waals interaction by transmission spectroscopy in a wedged nanocell (2019)
Journal Article
Peyrot, T., Šibalić, N., Sortais, Y., Browaeys, A., Sargsyan, A., Sarkisyan, D., Hughes, I., & Adams, C. (2019). Measurement of the atom-surface van der Waals interaction by transmission spectroscopy in a wedged nanocell. Physical Review A, 100(2), Article 022503. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.100.022503

We demonstrate a method for measuring atom-surface interactions using transmission spectroscopy of thermal vapors confined in a wedged nanocell. The wedged shape of the cell allows complementary measurements of both the bulk atomic vapor and atoms cl...

Fabrication and characterization of super-polished wedged borosilicate nano-cells (2019)
Journal Article
Peyrot, T., Beurthe, C., Coumar, S., Roulliay, M., Perronet, K., Bonnay, P., Adams, C., Browaeys, A., & Sortais, Y. (2019). Fabrication and characterization of super-polished wedged borosilicate nano-cells. Optics Letters, 44(8), 1940-1943. https://doi.org/10.1364/ol.44.001940

We report on the fabrication of an all-glass vapor cell with a thickness varying linearly between (exactly) 0 and ∼1  μm. The cell is made in Borofloat glass that allows state-of-the-art super polish roughness, a full optical bonding assembling and e...

Optical Transmission of an Atomic Vapor in the Mesoscopic Regime (2019)
Journal Article
Peyrot, T., Sortais, Y., Greffet, J.-J., Browaeys, A., Sargsyan, A., Keaveney, J., Hughes, I., & Adams, C. (2019). Optical Transmission of an Atomic Vapor in the Mesoscopic Regime. Physical Review Letters, 122(11), Article 113401. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.122.113401

By measuring the transmission of near-resonant light through an atomic vapor confined in a nanocell we demonstrate a mesoscopic optical response arising from the nonlocality induced by the motion of atoms with a phase coherence length larger than the...
