We report a high-resolution microscope system for imaging ultracold ytterbium atoms
trapped in a two-dimensional optical lattice. By using the ultraviolet strong transition …

Recent experimental progress in controlling neutral group-II atoms for optical clocks, and in
the production of degenerate gases with group-II atoms has given rise to novel opportunities …

Multicomponent quantum gases are ideal platforms to study fundamental phenomena
arising from the mutual interaction between different constituents. Particularly, due to the …

We developed a high-power laser system at a wavelength of 399 nm for laser cooling of
ytterbium atoms with ultraviolet laser diodes. The system is composed of an external cavity …

We report the implementation of projective measurement on a single 1/2 nuclear spin of the
Yb 171 atom by measuring the polarization of cavity-enhanced fluorescence. To obtain …

We present an all-optical method to load 174 Yb atoms into a single layer of an optical trap
near the surface of a solid immersion lens which improves the numerical aperture of a …

A single Yb atom is loaded into a high-finesse optical cavity with a moving lattice, and its
nuclear spin state is manipulated using a nuclear magnetic resonance technique. A highly …

In this thesis, a model system of quantum optics is experimentally studied-a single atom
coupled to a high-finesse optical cavity. Upon excitation with laser pulses, the atom-cavity …

We propose a semianalytical method to evaluate photon–nucleon interaction. Our method is
based on adding an optical cavity to the neutron decay process. This model is an extension …

This work describes a novel light-matter interface that is realized by a single atom trapped in
two crossed optical fiber cavities. The potential of this platform is demonstrated by …
