Quantum Information With Neutral Atoms as Qubits

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
James V. Porto, S L. Rolston, B L. Tolra, Carl J. Williams, William D. Phillips
Neutral atoms trapped in periodic optical potentials (optical lattices) offer a possible route toward quantum computation. The atoms can be kept well isolated from the environment, yet can be easily manipulated with the tools of atomic physics. This paper

Quantum Information With Neutral Atoms as Quibits

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
James V. Porto, S L. Rolston, B L. Tolra, Carl J. Williams, William D. Phillips
One of the essential features of a quantum computer is a quantum register of well-characterized qubits. Neural atoms in optical lattices are a natural candidate for such a register. We have demonstrated a pattern loading technique that can be used to load

Patterned Loading of a Bose-Einstein Condensate Into an Optical Lattice

May 1, 2003
Author(s)
S P. Peil, James V. Porto, B L. Tolra, J Obrecht, B E. King, M Subbotin, S L. Rolston, William D. Phillips
We have developed a technique to control the placement of atoms in an optical lattice by using a superlattice comprising two separately manipulated, periodic optical potentials with commensurate periods. We demonstrate selective loading of Bose-condensed

Bose-Einstein Condensate in Optical Lattices

Author(s)
A Browaeys, James V. Porto, S P. Peil, B Laburthe, J Obrecht, C R. McKenzie
We will present some results from the two Bose-Einstein condensation experiments at NIST Gaithersburg (on sodium and rubidium). We investigate the behaviour of the condensate in an optical lattice. The lattices are created by illuminating the cloud with

Analysis of Broadband X-Ray Spectra of Highly Charged Krypton From a Microcalorimeter Detector of an Electron-Beam Ion Trap

April 1, 2001
Author(s)
I Kink, J M. Laming, E Takacs, James V. Porto, John D. Gillaspy, E Silver, H. Schnopper, Simon R. Bandler, M Barbera, N Brickhouse, S Murray, N. Madden, D Landis, J. Beeman, E. E. Haller
Spectra of highly charged Kr ions, produced in an EBIT, have been recorded in a broad x-ray energy band (0.3-4 keV) with a microcalorimeter detector. Most of the spectral lines have been identified as transitions of B- to Al-like Kr. The transition

Microcalorimeter/EBIT Measurements of X-Ray Spectra of Highly Charged Ions

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
I Kink, J M. Laming, E Takacs, James V. Porto, John D. Gillaspy, E Silver, H. Schnopper, Simon R. Bandler, M Barbera, N Brickhouse, S Murray, D Landis, J. Beeman, E. E. Haller
Spectra of highly charged Ar, Kr, Xe and Fe ions, produced in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT), have been recorded in a broad x-ray energy band (0.2 keV to 10 keV) with a microcalorimeter detector. The first analysis of the Kr spectra has been completed

Emission-Line Intensity Ratios in FeXVII Observed with a Microcalorimeter on an Electron Beam Ion Trap

December 1, 2000

J M. Laming, I Kink, E Takacs, James V. Porto, John D. Gillaspy, E Silver, H. Schnopper, Simon R. Bandler, N Brickhouse, S Murray, M Barbera, A K. Bhatia, G. A. Doschek, N. Madden, D Landis, J. Beeman, E. E. Haller
We report new observations of emission line intensity ratios of Fe XVII under controlled experimental conditions, using the National Institute of Standards and Technology electron beam ion trap (EBIT) with a microcalorimeter detector. . . .Both R-matrix

Laboratory Astrophysics Survey of Key X-Ray Diagnostic Lines Using a Microcalorimeter on an Electron Beam Ion Trap

E Silver, H. Schnopper, Simon R. Bandler, N Brickhouse, S Murray, M Barbera, E Takacs, John D. Gillaspy, James V. Porto, I Kink, J M. Laming, N. Madden, D Landis, J. Beeman, E. E. Haller
Cosmic plasma conditions created in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) make it possible to simulate the dependencies of Key diagnostic x-ray lines on density, temperature, and excitation conditions that exist in astrophysical sources. We used a
