Atomic Molecular Optics Laboratory

Abstract The Norman F. Ramsey Prize in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics 2019 by the American Physical Society was awarded to Dr. Jun Ye. He leads the AMO Physics and Precision Measurement research group at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) at the University of Colorado Boulder. He was recognized for his groundbreaking contributions to precision measurements and the quantum control of atomic and molecular systems, including atomic clocks.

Abstract This report concerns the experiment of precision spectroscopy of cold strontium atoms in the Polish National Laboratory of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics in Toruń. The system is composed of a Zeeman slower and magneto-optical traps (at 461 nm and 689 nm), a frequency comb, and a narrow-band laser locked to an ultra-stable optical cavity. All parts of the experiment are prepared and the first measurements of the absolute frequency of the 1S0-3P1, 689 nm optical transition in 88Sr atoms are performed.

A team working in the new Polish National Laboratory for Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics obtained the first Polish Bose-Einstein condensate of 87 Rb atoms in a magnetic trap. The paper describes the experimental approach as well as the first observations, and discusses the very special methodology of ultra-low-temperature physics.
