Trapped neutral atoms have become a prominent platform for quantum science, where
entanglement fidelity records have been set using highly excited Rydberg states. However …

Enhancing light–matter coupling at the level of single quanta is essential for numerous
applications in quantum science. The cooperative optical response of subwavelength atomic …

We demonstrate single-shot imaging and narrow-line cooling of individual alkaline-earth
atoms in optical tweezers; specifically, strontium trapped in 515.2-nm light. Our approach …

We report on the creation of an array of spin-squeezed ensembles of cesium atoms via
Rydberg dressing, a technique that offers optical control over local interactions between …

In this brief review, the opportunities that the alkaline-earth elements offer for studying new
aspects of Rydberg physics are discussed. For example, the bosonic alkaline-earth isotopes …

We observe interaction-induced broadening of the two-photon 5 s-18 s transition in Rb 87
atoms trapped in a 3D optical lattice. The measured linewidth increases by nearly 2 orders …

Single photons coupled to atomic systems have shown to be a promising platform for
develo** quantum technologies. Yet a bright on-demand, highly pure, and highly …

Blackbody radiation, omnipresent at room temperature, couples nearby Rydberg states. The
resulting state mixture features strong dipolar interactions, which may induce dephasing in a …

Coupling light to ensembles of strongly interacting particles has emerged as a promising
route toward achieving few photon nonlinearities. One specific way to implement this kind of …

The development of a microwave electrometer with inherent uncertainty approaching its
ultimate limit carries both fundamental and technological significance. However, because of …
