Physical Review A - October 2022

Physical Review A covering atomic, molecular, and optical physics and quantum information View Email Online   Volume 106, Issue 4 October 2022   View Issue   Advertisement Sign up for the latest APS Science Trust Project training The APS Science Trust Project was born out of member-demand to address misinformation about science, which has been increasing due to the broad accessibility of various streams of communication. This free virtual workshop, held on 4 consecutive Tuesdays, starting on November 29, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. ET, via Zoom, will focus on climate change misinformation, but the skills and methods are appropriate for addressing a wide range of misinformation topics.

A 106, 040001 (2022) – Published 11 October 2022   Editors' Suggestion Thermodynamics of quantum measurement and Maxwell's demon's arrow of time Kagan Yanik, Bibek Bhandari, Sreenath K. Manikandan, and Andrew N. Jordan Phys. Rev. A 106, 042221 (2022) – Published 27 October 2022 In a single-qubit weak-measurement-based device, one may imagine feedback control as conducted by a quantum Maxwell's demon. Here, the authors investigate both discrete and continuous measurements in such a device in order to connect work and entropy statistics to the demon's perceived arrow of time.     Editors' Suggestion General time-dependent configuration-interaction singles. I. Molecular case Stefanos Carlström, Michael Spanner, and Serguei Patchkovskii Phys. Rev. A 106, 043104 (2022) – Published 10 October 2022 The authors develop a grid-based implementation of the time-dependent configuration-interaction singles method suitable for computing the strong-field ionization of small gas-phase molecules. This method is then demonstrated in calculations of strong-field ionization of He, LiH, H2O, and C2H4.     Editors' Suggestion Local phase shift due to interactions in an atom interferometer Zhibin Yao, Cyrille Solaro, Corentin Carrez, Pierre Cladé, and Saïda Guellati-Khelifa Phys. Rev. A 106, 043312 (2022) – Published 14 October 2022 The authors study the local phase shift induced by interactions in a light pulse atom interferometer with a Bose-Einstein condensate using a method based on the Feynman path integral. These effects are crucial for the sensitivity and accuracy of the atom interferometers. The theoretical results are verified by experimental measurements without adjustable parameters.     Editors' Suggestion Observation of low-field Feshbach resonances between 161Dy and 40K Zhu-Xiong Ye, Alberto Canali, Elisa Soave, Marian Kreyer, Yaakov Yudkin, Cornelis Ravensbergen, Emil Kirilov, and Rudolf Grimm Phys. Rev. A 106, 043314 (2022) – Published 17 October 2022 The authors report the observation of Feshbach resonances in the Fermi-Fermi mixture of ultracold 161Dy and 40K. The authors show experimental evidence that Dy-K offers a Feshbach resonance at 7.29 G with properties that could make the study of resonantly interacting mass-imbalanced Fermi-Fermi mixtures possible. In addition, they demonstrate the formation of DyK Feshbach molecules.       American Physical Society: 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740 ©2022 American Physical Society | All rights reserved   You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to Table of Content alerts.
