RAPID COMMUNICATION

Measurement of the van der Waals interaction by atom trajectory imaging

N. Thaicharoen, A. Schwarzkopf, and G. Raithel

Phys. Rev. A 92, 040701(R) (2015) - Published 19 October, 2015

A sophisticated, high-resolution detection method is used to measure the position changes of cold Rb Rydberg atoms and thereby the strength of the repulsive van der Waals interaction between them; the measurements imply that these atoms interact as individual entities rather than as “superatoms” that share the same Rydberg excitation.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

RAPID COMMUNICATION

Many-body localization and thermalization in disordered Hubbard chains

Rubem Mondaini and Marcos Rigol

Phys. Rev. A 92, 041601(R) (2015) - Published 6 October, 2015

Ergodicity, an essential property of a dynamical system for thermalization to occur, is found to be remarkably robust against disorder, which ultimately leads to many-body localization, and this robustness is predicted to be more significant in real-life-scale systems than in ultracold lattice experiments due to their limited size.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Demonstration of open-quantum-system optimal control in dynamic nuclear polarization

S. Sheldon and D. G. Cory

Phys. Rev. A 92, 042102 (2015) - Published 6 October, 2015

Optimal control theory is applied in the modern open-quantum-system framework to design systematically a sequence of microwave pulses that optimize the dynamic nuclear polarization, gaining an order-of-magnitude improvement in enhancing the nuclear polarization and consequently increasing the signal-to-noise ratio dramatically in the widely used technique of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for detecting and/or imaging microstructures and biotissue.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Polarization measurement of dielectronic recombination transitions in highly charged krypton ions

Chintan Shah, Holger Jörg, Sven Bernitt, Stepan Dobrodey, René Steinbrügge, Christian Beilmann, Pedro Amaro, Zhimin Hu, Sebastian Weber, Stephan Fritzsche, Andrey Surzhykov, José R. Crespo López-Urrutia, and Stanislav Tashenov

Phys. Rev. A 92, 042702 (2015) - Published 7 October, 2015

The linear polarization of x rays generated during a dielectronic recombination — an electron recombines with an ion and simultaneously excites a bound electron — is measured in good agreement with theoretical predictions, leading to a refined technique to diagnose the electron currents and magnetic fields in both high-temperature astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Degenerate Bose-Fermi mixtures of rubidium and ytterbium

V. D. Vaidya, J. Tiamsuphat, S. L. Rolston, and J. V. Porto

Phys. Rev. A 92, 043604 (2015) - Published 5 October, 2015

An admixture of $^{87}$ Rb and $^{171}$ Yb atoms is prepared and cooled down to quantum degeneracy in a hybrid optical dipole trap independently tunable for both atomic species, which makes experimentalists ready to explore intriguing quantum phenomena such as the behavior of polarons on a lattice with alkali-metal–alkaline-earth-metal mixtures.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Conversion of recoilless $γ$ radiation into a periodic sequence of short intense pulses in a set of several sequentially placed resonant absorbers

Y. V. Radeonychev, V. A. Antonov, F. G. Vagizov, R. N. Shakhmuratov, and Olga Kocharovskaya

Phys. Rev. A 92, 043808 (2015) - Published 8 October, 2015

An extension to a powerful technique for generating a sequence of short $γ$ -ray pulses is proposed, where a set of several sequentially placed absorbers modulate the amplitudes and initial phases of the spectral components in the $γ$ ray with the resonant interaction between the light and the Doppler-shifted nuclear transitions.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Atom-based coherent quantum-noise cancellation in optomechanics

F. Bariani, H. Seok, S. Singh, M. Vengalattore, and P. Meystre

Phys. Rev. A 92, 043817 (2015) - Published 14 October, 2015

A design of a quantum force sensor is proposed to achieve coherent quantum noise cancellation (CQNC) by optically coupling a mesoscopic mechanical resonator to an ensemble of ultracold atoms, which has the specific advantage of allowing easy experimental realization of CQNC to reduce quantum noises below the standard quantum limit.
