Laser cooling exploits the physics of light scattering to cool atomic and molecular gases to
close to absolute zero. It is the crucial initial step for essentially all atomic gas experiments in …

Degenerate quantum gases of alkaline-earth-like elements open new opportunities in
research areas ranging from molecular physics to the study of strongly correlated systems …

We investigate the merits of a measurement of the permanent electric dipole moment of the
electron (e EDM) with barium monofluoride molecules, thereby searching for phenomena of …

The parameter W a, which characterizes nuclear-spin-dependent parity violation (PV) in the
molecular spin-rotational Hamiltonian, was computed with a quasirelativistic Hartree-Fock …

In inverted atomic ensembles, photon-mediated interactions give rise to Dicke
superradiance, a form of many-body decay that results in a rapid release of energy as a …

Precision measurements with ultracold atoms and molecules are primed to probe beyond-
the-standard model physics. Isotopologues of homonuclear molecules are a natural testbed …

The experimental revolution in ultracold atomic gas physics over the past decades has
brought tremendous amounts of new insight to the world of degenerate quantum systems …

We report laser frequency stabilization by the combination of modulation transfer
spectroscopy and balanced detection of a relatively weak hyperfine transition of the R (158) …

We review the use of laser cooling and trapping for Standard Model tests, focusing on
trapping of radioactive isotopes. Experiments with neutral atoms trapped using modern laser …

Progress on a method of barium tagging for the nEXO double beta decay experiment is
reported. Absorption and emission spectra for deposits of barium atoms and ions in solid …
