Continuous recoil-driven lasing and cavity frequency pinning with laser-cooled atoms - Nature Physics

2 weeks ago | nature.com | Vera Schafer |Zhijing Niu |Dylan Young |Eric Song |Helmut Ritsch

AbstractLaser-cooled gases of atoms interacting with the field of an optical cavity are a versatile tool for quantum sensing and the simulation of quantum systems. These systems can exhibit phenomena such as self-organization phase transitions, lasing mechanisms, squeezed states and protection of quantum coherence. However, investigations of these phenomena typically occur in a discontinuous manner due to the need to reload atomic ensembles.
Letter: Lunch lines are long, food subpar

I am an 8th grader at Garrison Middle school. Despite the fact that our cooks are lovely and hard working. Most students can agree that our current school lunch is subpar and even grotesque at times. We think that the new school lunches this change could impact the students satisfaction as well as overall excitement for learning and school in general.
Continuous Collective Strong Coupling of Strontium Atoms to a High Finesse Ring Cavity

Jan 10, 2025 | link.aps.org | Vera Schafer |Dylan Young |Tai Hyun Yoon |Zhijing Niu

We demonstrate continuous loading and strong collective coupling of atoms to a high finesse ring cavity. A series of spatially separated laser cooling stages delivers a continuous flux of into an intracavity magic wavelength lattice where the atoms are deterministically transported inside the ring cavity. We observe a continuous atom-cavity vacuum Rabi splitting, demonstrating the first steady-state strong collective coupling on a narrow linewidth atomic transition.

Adversity provided a challenging course for the David Crockett cross country team in 2024, but Maggie Bellamy and the Pioneers reached the finish line with triumphant smiles. Bellamy finished 10th overall, helping the Crockett girls to a fourth-place finish in the Class A/AA state cross country meet on Thursday in Hendersonville. The disastrous flood and injuries made an obstacle course of the season. But all is relatively well that ends well.
