Synopsis: The fundamental constants of nature might not be completely constant. In some models of new physics, they are predicted to drift or oscillate in time. Such a variation could be measured using a network of atomic and molecular clocks. This paper describes how varying fundamental constants arise in various theories, and evaluates the precision that could be reached through comparisons of existing clocks and some novel ones that we are now building.

Synopsis: Laser cooling of YbF molecules is hindered by low-lying electronic states arising from excitation of a 4f electron. Very little is known about these excited states. To gain a better understanding, we build a simple model of the states based on existing experimental data and combine this with sophisticated electronic structure calculations.  We identify a leak out of the laser cooling cycle and assess its impact on laser cooling.

a molecular MOTSynopsis: In this review, we survey the current state of the art in the science of laser cooling molecules.  We examine what kinds of molecules can be laser cooled, how to design a suitable cooling scheme, and how the cooling can be understood and modelled. We review recent work on laser slowing, magneto-optical trapping, sub-Doppler cooling, and the confinement of molecules in conservative traps, with a focus on the fundamental principles of each technique. Finally, we explore some of the exciting applications of laser-cooled molecules that should be accessible in the near term.

2D cooled YbF

 

Synopsis: We use two-dimensional transverse laser cooling to produce an ultracold beam of YbF molecules. Through experiments and numerical simulations, we study how the cooling is influenced by the polarization configuration, laser intensity, laser detuning and applied magnetic field. Laser cooling reduces the temperature below 200 microkelvin and increases the brightness of the beam by a factor of at least 300. This ultracold beam is an important step towards measuring the electron's electric dipole moment with improved precision.

  • Collisions in a dual-species magneto-optical trap of molecules and atoms, S. Jurgilas, A. Chakraborty, C. J. H. Rich, B. E. Sauer, M. D. Frye, J. M. Hutson and M. R. Tarbutt, New J. Phys. 23, 075004 (2021).

Dual CaF Rb MOT

Synopsis: We describe how we make a dual-species magneto-optical trap (MOT) of CaF molecules and Rb atoms. We study inelastic collisions between the two species in the MOT. The presence of atoms increases the loss rate of molecules from the trap, and we measure the collisional loss rate coefficient. We study the collisional mechanisms responsible, finding that our observations can be explained by rotation-changing collisions in the ground electronic state.

  • From Hot Beams to Trapped Ultracold Molecules: Motivations, Methods and Future Directions, N. J Fitch and M. R. Tarbutt, In: Friedrich B., Schmidt-Böcking H. (eds) Molecular Beams in Physics and Chemistry. Springer, Cham. doi 10.1007/978-3-030-63963-1_22. 

Platforms for leveraging systems of ultracold molecules

 

Synopsis: In the last century, molecular beams have dramatically improved in terms of their brightness, species availability, beam speeds, and the areas of physics that they can be used to investigate.  Here, we summarize some of the advances that have taken place since the pioneering work of Otto Stern and colleagues some hundred years ago measuring dipole moments of fundamental particles, how measurement techniques have evolved, and how the newly developed field of molecular laser cooling will help such experiments progress in the future.

Molecular quantum technologySynopsis. Isolating single molecules in the solid state has allowed fundamental experiments in basic and applied sciences. Molecules can be operated as single-photon sources and as nonlinear elements with competitive performance in terms of coherence, scalability and compatibility with diverse integrated platforms. Moreover, they can be used as transducers for the optical read-out of fields and material properties, with the promise of single-quanta resolution in the sensing of charges and motion. In this review article we show that quantum emitters based on single molecules hold promise to play a key role in the development of quantum science and technologies.

  • Collisions between ultracold molecules and atoms in a magnetic trap, S. Jurgilas, A. Chakraborty, C. J. H. Rich, L. Caldwell, H. J. Williams, N. J. Fitch, B. E. Sauer, M. D. Frye, J. M. Hutson and M. R. Tarbutt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 153401 (2021)

Atom-molecule collisionsSynopsis. We study the collisions of laser-cooled molecules at ultracold temperatures. We find that spin-changing collisions are slow but rotation-changing collisions are fast. Our techniques can be applied to a wide range of atom-molecule mixtures and open a new avenue of research in the field of ultracold collisions.  The work is an important step towards smpathetic cooling of molecules by ultracold atoms.  Highlighted in Physics Magazine.

  •  Coherent characterisation of a single molecule in a photonic black box, S. Boissier, R. C. Schofield, L. Jin, A. Ovvyan, S. Nur, F. H. L. Koppens, C. Toninelli, W. H. P. Pernice, K. D. Major, E. A. Hinds and A. S. Clark, Nature Communications 12, 706 (2021)

Interrupted waveguideSynopsis. We develop a theoretical framework to deduce the coupling efficiency from the measured transmission and reflection spectra without precise knowledge of the photonic environment. We then consider the case of a waveguide interrupted by a transverse cut in which an emitter is placed. We apply that theory to a silicon nitride waveguide interrupted by a gap filled with anthracene that is doped with dibenzoterrylene molecules. We describe the fabrication of these devices, and experimentally characterise the waveguide coupling of a single molecule in the gap.

NaCs spaghettiSynopsis. We show how to control sub-wavelength spacings between molecules by using tensor Stark shifts to engineer state-dependent optical tweezer traps. The method increases the strength of dipolar interactions between molecules 100-fold and will work for all molecules - those associated from alkali atoms and those directly laser cooled. The method is useful for quantum simulation, information processing and ultracold chemistry.

 

  • Methods for measuring the electron's electric dipole moment using ultracold YbF molecules, N. J. Fitch, J. Lim, E. A. Hinds, B. E. Sauer and M. R. Tarbutt, Quantum Sci. Technol. 6, 014006 (2021)

LatticeSynopsis. We describe how ultracold molecules could be used to improve measurements of the electron's electric dipole moment. A combination of magnetic focussing, 2D laser cooling, and frequency-chirped laser slowing, can produce an intense, slow, highly-collimated molecular beam. We consider how to make a magneto-optical trap of YbF molecules and how they could be loaded into an optical lattice. We estimate the statistical sensitivity that could be reached and consider systematic effects due to magnetic fields and vector light shifts.

State dependent tweezer

Synopsis. The dipole-dipole interaction between polar molecules in tweezer trap arrays can be used to implement quantum gates and study many-body quantum systems. However, at the minimum separation between traps, the interaction strength is sufficient for only a few gate operations within currently demonstrated coherence times. We show how a state-dependent potential can confine two molecules at much smaller separation, enhancing their interaction 100-fold. We use this interaction to design a fast, realistic two-qubit gate. 

 

  • Phonon-Induced Optical Dephasing in Single Organic Molecules, C. Clear, R. C. Schofield, K. D. Major, J. Iles-Smith, A. S. Clark and D. P. S. McCutcheon, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 153602 (2020)

Molecule modelSynopsis. This is a joint experiment-theory analysis of the temperature-dependent emission spectra, zero-phonon linewidth, and second-order correlation function of light emitted from a single organic molecule. We observe spectra with a zero-phonon line together with several additional sharp peaks, broad phonon sidebands, and a strongly temperature dependent homogeneous broadening. Our model includes both localized vibrational modes of the molecule and a thermal phonon bath. Our results constitute an essential characterization of the photon coherence of molecules, paving the way to their use in future quantum information applications.

  • New techniques for a measurement of the electron's electric dipole moment, C. J. Ho, J. A. Devlin, I. M. Rabey, P. Yzombard, J. Lim, S. C. Wright, N. J. Fitch, E. A. Hinds, M. R. Tarbutt and B. E. Sauer, New. J. Phys. 22, 053031 (2020)

Interference fringesSynopsis. We report a series of new techniques that have improved the statistical sensitivity of our experiment to measure the electron's electric dipole moment using YbF molecules. We increase the number of molecules participating in the experiment by an order of magnitude using an optical pumping scheme, and increase the detection efficiency of these molecules by another order of magnitude using an optical cycling scheme. We show how to destabilise dark states and reduce backgrounds that otherwise limit the efficiency of these techniques.  

  • Single-Photon-Level Sub-Doppler Pump-Probe Spectroscopy of Rubidium, P. Burdekin, S. Grandi, R. Newbold, R. A. Hoggarth, K. D. Major
    and A. S. Clark, Phys. Rev. Applied 14, 044046 (2020)

Spectroscopy setupSynopsis. We propose and demonstrate pump-probe spectroscopy of rubidium absorption that reveals the sub-Doppler hyperfine structure of the D2 transitions. The counterpropagating pump and probe lasers are independently tunable in frequency, which reveal a two-dimensional spectrum measured showing fluorescence, Doppler-broadened absorption dips, and sub-Doppler features. The detuning between the pump and probe lasers allows compensation of the Doppler shift for all atomic velocities in the room-temperature vapor, meaning we observe sub-Doppler features for all atoms in the beam. In the future this technique could be used as an atomic frequency standard for calibrating and characterising a single-photon or low-light-level source.

  • Robust entangling gate for polar molecules using magnetic and microwave fields, M. Hughes, M. D. Frye, R. Sawant, G. Bhole, J. A. Jones, S. L. Cornish, M. R. Tarbutt, J. M. Hutson, D. Jaksch and J. Mur-Petit, Phys. Rev. A 101, 062308 (2020)

Robust gate

Synopsis. The dipole-dipole interactions of polar molecules can be used to implement quantum gates.  We use magnetic and microwave fields to design a fast entangling gate with >0.999 fidelity.  Our protocol is robust with respect to fluctuations in the trapping and control fields and to small thermal excitations. These results establish the feasibility of build a scalable quantum processor with molecules in optical lattices or optical tweezers.

 Sideband cooling of molecules in optical traps, L. Caldwell and M. R. Tarbutt, Phys. Rev. Research 2, 013251 (2020)

Sideband coolingSynopsis. Sideband cooling is a popular method for cooling atoms to the ground state of an optical trap. Applying the same method to molecules is challenging because strong tensor Stark shifts make the trap potential state-dependent. We develop the theory of sideband cooling in state-dependent potentials, and derive an expression for the heating due to photon scattering. We show that the complexity of sideband cooling can be greatly reduced by applying a large magnetic field and we present a simple recipe for cooling to the ground state of motion.

Organic nanocrystalSynopsis. We demonstrate an emulsion-polymerisation technique to embed dibenzoterrylene-doped anthracene nanocrystals in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) nanocapsules. The nanocapsules require no further protection after fabrication and are resistant to sublimation compared to unprotected anthracene. The room temperature emission from single dibenzoterrylene molecules is stable and when cooled to cryogenic temperatures we see no change in their excellent optical properties compared to existing growth methods. We also show emission from nanocapsules embedded in a thin layer of titanium dioxide, highlighting their potential for integration into hybrid nanophotonic devices.

  • Ultracold polar molecules as qudits, R. Sawant, J. A. Blackmore, P. D. Gregory, J. Mur-Petit, D. Jaksch, J. Aldegunde, J. M. Hutson, M. R. Tarbutt and S. L. Cornish, New J. Phys. 22, 013027 (2020)

Qudits

Synopsis. We discuss how the internal structure of ultracold molecules, trapped in the motional ground state of optical tweezers, can be used to implement qudits. We identify a subset of levels within a single rotational manifold suitable to implement a four-level qudit. We present a protocol for using a molecular qudit to perform the Deutsch algorithm.

 

  • Long rotational coherence times of molecules in a magnetic trap, L. Caldwell, H. J. Williams, N. J. Fitch, J. Aldegunde, J. M. Hutson, B. E. Sauer, M. R. Tarbutt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 063001 (2020)

Magnetic insensitivitySynopsis. Polar molecules in superpositions of rotational states exhibit long-range dipolar interactions, but maintaining their coherence in a trapped sample is a challenge. We present calculations that show many laser-coolable molecules have convenient rotational transitions that are exceptionally insensitive to magnetic fields. We verify this experimentally for CaF where we find a transition with sensitivity below 5 Hz/G and use it to demonstrate a rotational coherence time of 6.4 ms in a magnetic trap. Simulations suggest it is feasible to extend this to more than 1 s.

  • Hybrid plasmonic waveguide coupling of photons from a single molecule, S. Grandi,  M. P. Nielsen, J. Cambiasso, S. Boissier, K. D. Major, C. Reardon,  T. F. Krauss,  R. F. Oulton, E. A. Hinds and A. S. Clark, APL Photonics 4, 086101 (2019)

Hybrid plasmonic waveguideSynopsis. We demonstrate the emission of photons from a single molecule into a hybrid gap plasmon waveguide. Crystals of anthracene, doped with dibenzoterrylene (DBT), are grown on top of the waveguides. We investigate a single DBT molecule coupled to the plasmonic region of one of the guides and determine its in-plane orientation, excited state lifetime, and saturation intensity. We show that the emitter is a single molecule coupled to the guide with an efficiency of 11.6(1.5)%. This type of structure is promising for building new functionality into quantum-photonic circuits, where localized regions of strong emitter-guide coupling can be interconnected by low-loss dielectric guides.

Microwave trapSynopsis. We demonstrate a trap that confines atoms and molecules around the antinode of a standing-wave microwave field. We couple about 1 kW of power into a microwave cavity that has a quality factor of about ten thousand and demonstrate the trapping of Li atoms. The trap has a volume of about 10 cm3 and a depth near 1 K for many polar molecules.

  • Deep Laser Cooling and Efficient Magnetic Compression of Molecules, L. Caldwell, J. A. Devlin, H. J. Williams, N. J. Fitch, E. A. Hinds, B. E. Sauer and M. R. Tarbutt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 033202 (2019)

Deep coolingSynopsis. We introduce a scheme for deep laser cooling of molecules based on robust dark states at zero velocity. Using this method, we cool molecules to 5 uK. We solve a general problem of measuring low temperatures for large clouds by rotating the phase-space distribution and then directly imaging the complete velocity distribution. We also introduce an efficient method for compressing the ultracold cloud.

 

Buffer gas cell loadingSynopsis. A review of progress towards a measurement of parity violation in heavy-metal chiral complexes using mid-infrared Ramsey interferometry. Topics addressed include the development of buffer-gas sources of slow, cold polyatomic molecules, and the frequency stabilisation of quantum cascade lasers calibrated using primary frequency standards.

 

Magneto-optical trap

Synopsis: A review article on laser cooling of molecules, intended for a broad readership, especially for researchers starting out in the field and for undergraduates, teachers and lecturers.

  • Ultracold molecules for quantum simulation: rotational coherences in CaF and RbCs, J. A. Blackmore, L. Caldwell, P. D. Gregory, E. M. Bridge, R. Sawant, J. Aldegunde, J. Mur-Petit, D. Jaksch, J. M. Hutson, B. E. Sauer, M. R. Tarbutt and S. L. Cornish, Quantum Sci. Technol. 4, 014010 (2019)

Ramsey fringesSynopsis. Polar molecules offer a new platform for quantum simulation of systems with long-range interactions. We report coherent control of rotational states of CaF and RbCs.  A judicious choice of hyperfine states minimises the impact of the trap fields.

  • Efficient excitation of dye molecules for single photon generation, R. C. Schofield, K. D. Major, S. Grandi, S. Boissier, E. A. Hinds
    and A. S. Clark, J. Phys. Commun. 2, 115027 (2018)

DBT SpectrumSynopsis. A reliable single photon source is required for many aspects of quantum technology. Organic molecules are attractive for this application because they can have high quantum yield and can be photostable, even at room temperature. To generate a photon with high probability, a laser must excite the molecule efficiently. We develop a simple model for that efficiency and discuss how to optimise it. We demonstrate the validity of our model through experiments on a single dibenzoterrylene (DBT) molecule in an anthracene crystal. We show that the excitation probability cannot exceed 75% at room temperature, but can increase to over 99% if the sample is cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature. The possibility of high photon generation efficiency with only modest cooling is a significant step towards a reliable photon source that is simple and practical.

Blue detuned MOT

Synopsis. Magneto-optical traps (MOTs) for atoms and molecules with dark states suffer from low phase-space density. This is particularly problematic for cooling and trapping molecules, where dark states are always present. We solve this problem, demonstrating a new MOT that increases the phase-space density a million-fold. Our MOT uses blue detuned light, overturning the conventional wisdom that MOTs have to use red-detuned light.

 

 

  • Laser cooled YbF molecules for measuring the electron’s electric dipole moment, J. Lim, J. R. Almond, M. A. Trigatzis, J. A. Devlin, N. J. Fitch, B. E. Sauer, M. R. Tarbutt and E. A. Hinds, Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 123201 (2018)

Cold YbF molecules

Synopsis. Ultracold molecules can be used to test fundamental physics. An excellent example is the measurement of the electron’s electric dipole moment, which tests physics beyond the Standard Model. Cooling the molecules to low temperature increases the coherence time in these experiments, which makes them more precise. We demonstrate sub-Doppler laser cooling of a beam of YbF molecules to 100 μK. This is a key step towards a new measurement of the electron’s electric dipole moment.

  • Magnetic trapping and coherent control of laser-cooled molecules, H. J. Williams, L. Caldwell, N. J. Fitch, S. Truppe, J. Rodewald, E. A. Hinds, B. E. Sauer and M. R. Tarbutt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 163201 (2018)

CaF Rabi flopping

Synopsis. Quantum science with ultracold molecules requires control over the quantum state of molecules and confinement in a trap that preserves that state. To meet these requirements, we transfer ultracold CaF molecules into a single state, coherently control their rotational, hyperfine and magnetic state, and then trap them magnetically for several seconds.

Funny MOTsSynopsis. We characterise in detail several unconventional magneto-optical trapping (MOT) arrangements. Some use red-detuned light and others blue-detuned light. This work brings useful insights into the range of possibilities for making molecular MOTs.

  • Laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of molecules analyzed using optical Bloch equations and the Fokker-Planck-Kramers equation, J. A. Devlin and M. R. Tarbutt, Phys. Rev. A 98, 063415 (2018)

OBE simulation results

 

Synopsis. We develop a sophisticated model of laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of molecules and use it to establish the principle mechanisms at work. We find that the balance between Doppler forces and Sisyphus forces play a critical role in determining temperature and other properties, and that transient dark states are important to the Sisyphus mechanism and in determining the photon scattering rate. Most of the predictions of our model are in good quantitative agreement with experimental results.

  • Molecules cooled below the Doppler limit, S. Truppe, H. J. Williams, M. Hambach, L. Caldwell, N. J. Fitch, E. A. Hinds, B. E. Sauer and M. R. Tarbutt, Nature Physics 13, 1173 (2017)

Synopsis. The magneto-optical trap (MOT) is the workhorse of experiments with ultracold atoms. A MOT uses a combination of laser beams and a magnetic field to trap and cool atoms. The main cooling mechanism is Doppler cooling, which is effective when the laser light is detuned to the red side of the atomic transition, but cannot cool below a certain temperature limit, known as the Doppler limit.  A molecule MOT is an ideal starting point for many applications of ultracold molecules. In this paper, we demonstrate we capture about 10,000 molecules in a MOT,  cool them to to a few millikelvin, and store them for about 100 ms. We then demonstrate that a second cooling mechanism, sub-Doppler cooling, is effective when the light is blue-detuned and the magnetic field is turned off. Using this mechanism, we cool molecules below the Doppler limit for the first time, reaching a temperature of 50 microkelvin.

CaFLevels

Synopsis. Magneto-optical traps (MOTs) for molecules are new, so a thorough characterisation of their properties is called for. This paper presents a detailed investigation of the properties of a MOT of CaF molecules. We first study how molecules load into the MOT from a decelerated molecular beam. Then we measure how the number of molecules, the photon scattering rate, the oscillation frequency, damping constant, temperature, cloud size and lifetime depend on the key parameters of the MOT, especially the intensity and the detuning of the light. By comparing our results to analytical and numerical models we shed light on the mechanisms at work in molecule MOTs. 

  • A buffer gas beam source for short, intense and slow molecular pulses, S Truppe, M Hambach, S M Skoff, N E Bulleid, J S Bumby, R J Hendricks, E A Hinds, B E Sauer and M R Tarbutt, Journal of Modern Optics, 65, 246 (2017)

Buffer Gas Beam Source

Synopsis. Experiments with directly-cooled molecules usually begin with a source. This paper describes a pulsed source of molecules with characteristics that are ideal for many experiments – the pulses have high flux, low speed, low temperature and short duration. We make CaF molecules by laser ablation of a Ca target in the presence of SF6 gas. The molecules are caught in a flow of 4K helium, which cools them and produces a directed beam. We present the design of the source, give practical details about how to build it, and characterize its performance.

  • An intense, cold, velocity-controlled molecular beam by frequency-chirped laser slowing, S. Truppe, H. J. Williams, N. J. Fitch, M. Hambach, T. E. Wall, E. A. Hinds, B. E. Sauer and M. R. Tarbutt, New Journal of Physics, 19, 022001 (2017)

Slow molecules

 

Synopsis. Molecular beams need to be slowed down to low velocity before they can be captured in a magneto-optical trap. We use frequency-chirped radiation pressure slowing to control the velocity of a CaF beam down to a few m/s, compressing its velocity spread by a factor of 10 while retaining high intensity.  

  • Characterising molecules for fundamental physics: an accurate spectroscopic model of methyltrioxorhenium derived from new infrared and millimetre-wave measurements, P. Asselin, Y. Berger, T. R. Huet, L. Margulès, R. Motiyenko, R. J. Hendricks, M. R. Tarbutt, S. K. Tokunaga and B. Darquié, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 19, 4576 (2017)

MTO SpectroscopySynopsis. Using high-resolution spectroscopy, we study the rotational and rovibrational structure of methyltrioxorhenium (MTO), the achiral parent of a family of large oxorhenium compounds that are ideal candidate species for a planned measurement of parity violation in chiral molecules. To simplify the spectrum and improve the resolution, we cooled the molecules to a few kelvin.

 

 

YbF spectroscopySynopsis. Spectroscopy of strongly perturbed transitions in YbF. This work is important for determining the best laser-cooling scheme for this molecule, which in turn is important for future measurements of the  electron's electric dipole moment.

 

MTO

Synopsis. We demonstrate cryogenic buffer-gas cooling of gas-phase methyltrioxorhenium (MTO). This molecule is closely related to chiral organometallic molecules where the parity-violating energy differences between enantiomers is measurable. We cool the molecules to 6K and study the antisymmetric Re=O stretching mode by absorption spectroscopy in the mid infrared. This ability to produce dense samples of complex molecules of this type at low temperatures is a key step towards a measurement of parity violation in a chiral species
