Enhanced Quantum State Transfer via Feedforward Cancellation of Optical Phase Noise. (2024)
Journal Article
Maddox, B. P., Mortlock, J. M., Hepworth, T. R., Raghuram, A. P., Gregory, P. D., Guttridge, A., & Cornish, S. L. (2024). Enhanced Quantum State Transfer via Feedforward Cancellation of Optical Phase Noise. Physical Review Letters, 133(25), Article 253202. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.133.253202

Many experimental platforms for quantum science depend on state control via laser fields. Frequently, however, the control fidelity is limited by optical phase noise. This is exacerbated in stabilized laser systems where high-frequency phase noise is... Read More about Enhanced Quantum State Transfer via Feedforward Cancellation of Optical Phase Noise..

Ultralong-range Cs-RbCs Rydberg molecules: Nonadiabaticity of dipole moments (2024)
Journal Article
Mellado-Alcedo, D., Guttridge, A., Cornish, S. L., Sadeghpour, H. R., & González-Férez, R. (2024). Ultralong-range Cs-RbCs Rydberg molecules: Nonadiabaticity of dipole moments. Physical Review A, 110(1), Article 013314. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.110.013314

We consider ultralong-range polyatomic Rydberg molecules formed by combining a Rydberg cesium atom and a ground-state RbCs molecule. We explore the regime where the charge-dipole interaction due to the Rydberg electron with the diatomic polar molecul...

Quantum computation and quantum simulation with ultracold molecules (2024)
Journal Article
Cornish, S. L., Tarbutt, M. R., & Hazzard, K. R. A. (2024). Quantum computation and quantum simulation with ultracold molecules. Nature Physics, 20(5), 730-740. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-024-02453-9

Ultracold molecules confined in optical lattices or tweezer traps can be used to process quantum information and simulate the behaviour of many-body quantum systems. Molecules offer several advantages for these applications. They have a large set of... Read More about Quantum computation and quantum simulation with ultracold molecules.

Enhanced Quantum Control of Individual Ultracold Molecules Using Optical Tweezer Arrays (2024)
Journal Article
Ruttley, D. K., Guttridge, A., Hepworth, T. R., & Cornish, S. L. (2024). Enhanced Quantum Control of Individual Ultracold Molecules Using Optical Tweezer Arrays. PRX Quantum, 5(2), Article 020333. https://doi.org/10.1103/prxquantum.5.020333

Control over the quantum states of individual molecules is crucial in the quest to harness their rich internal structure and dipolar interactions for applications in quantum science. In this paper, we develop a toolbox of techniques for the control a... Read More about Enhanced Quantum Control of Individual Ultracold Molecules Using Optical Tweezer Arrays.

Modulation transfer spectroscopy of the D1 transition of potassium: theory and experiment (2024)
Journal Article
Innes, A. D., Majumder, P., Noh, H. R., & Cornish, S. L. (2024). Modulation transfer spectroscopy of the D1 transition of potassium: theory and experiment. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 57(7), Article 075401. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6455/ad31af

We report on a study of modulation transfer spectroscopy of the 4S1/2 → 4P1/2 (D1) transition of naturally abundant potassium in a room-temperature vapour cell. This transition is critical for laser cooling and optical pumping of potassium and our st...
