An Atomtronic Flux Qubit: A ring lattice of Bose-Einstein condensates interrupted by three weak links

We study a physical system consisting of a Bose-Einstein condensate confined to a ring shaped lattice potential interrupted by three weak links. The system is assumed to be driven by an effective flux piercing the ring lattice. By employing path integral techniques, we explore the effective quantum dynamics of the system in a pure quantum phase dynamics regime. Moreover, the effects of the density's quantum fluctuations are studied through exact diagonalization analysis of the spectroscopy of the Bose-Hubbard model. We demonstrate that a clear two-level system emerges by tuning the magnetic flux at degeneracy. The lattice confinement, platform for the condensate, is realized experimentally employing a spatial light modulator.

Towards a new measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment

We present our progress towards a new measurement of the electron electric dipole moment using a beam of YbF molecules. Data are currently being taken with a sensitivity of 10^{-27} e.cm / \sqrt{day}.

Stark shift of the $A^2Π_{1/2}$ state in $^{174}$YbF

We have measured the Stark shift of the $A^2Π_{1/2} - X^2Σ^+$ transition in YbF. We use a molecular beam triple resonance method, with two laser transitions acting as pump and probe, assisted by an rf transition that tags a single hyperfine transition of the X state. After subtracting the known ground state Stark shift, we obtain a value of $70.3(1.5) $Hz/(V/cm)$^2$ for the static electric polarizability of the state $A^2Π_{1/2}(J=1/2,f)$. From this we calculate a value $μ_e=2.46(3)$D for the electric dipole moment of the $A^2Π_{1/2}(v=0)$ state.
