Phys.org  March 24, 2023 Whereas ultracold atoms and superconducting circuits have since taken independent paths in the exploration of new physics, taking advantage of their complementary strengths in an integrated system enables access to fundamentally new parameter regimes and device capabilities. Taking advantage of their complementary strengths in an integrated system a team of researchers in the US (University of Chicago, Stanford University) developed a system, coupling an ensemble of cold 85Rb atoms simultaneously to an optically accessible, three-dimensional superconducting resonator and a vibration-suppressed optical cavity in a cryogenic (5 K) environment. To demonstrate the capabilities of the platform, they leveraged […]
