Software atom in laser spectroscopy

Juha Javanainen

We have developed computer programs for numerical experiments on laser-atom interactions. First, subroutines have been written that build a software atom with an arbitrary level scheme from elementary specifications, such as angular momenta and energies of the atomic levels. Second, the key operations of the semiclassical theory of laser spectroscopy have been implemented as transformations acting on the software atom. The software atom was initially used in investigations of the motion of an atom in three-dimensional optical molasses,1 Here we discuss two new applications, saturation and resonance fluorescence of a multistate atom.

The Munich Quantum Software Company: Developing Production-ready Quantum Computing Software

Robert Wille, Marcel Walter, Simon Hofmann +3 more

Quantum computing is becoming a reality. Superconducting, ion traps, neutral atoms, etc.—the hardware is getting there! However, software capable of handling complex design tasks is needed to connect end users to these platforms. Unfortunately, software for quantum computing is still in its infancy, and the development of quantum computing software remains a significant challenge. The MQSC aims to create production-ready software tools that provide for quantum computing what we already take for granted in classical IT.

Modified control software for imaging ultracold atomic clouds

Dwight Whitaker, Arjun Sharma, John M. Brown

A charge-coupled device (CCD) camera capable of taking high-quality images of ultracold atomic samples can often represent a significant portion of the equipment costs in atom trapping experiment. We have modified the commercial control software of a CCD camera designed for astronomical imaging to take absorption images of ultracold rubidium clouds. This camera is sensitive at 780 nm and has been modified to take three successive 16-bit images at full resolution. The control software can be integrated into a Matlab graphical user interface with fitting routines written as Matlab functions. This camera is capable of recording high-quality images at a fraction of the cost of similar cameras typically used in atom trapping experiments.
