• Abstract: Entanglement generation in trapped-ion systems has relied thus far on two distinct but related geometric phase gate techniques: Molmer-Sorensen and light-shift gates. We recently proposed a variant of the light-shift scheme where the qubit levels are separated by an optical frequency [B. C. Sawyer and K. R. Brown, Phys. Rev. A 103, 022427 (2021)]. Here we report an experimental demonstration of this entangling gate using a pair of $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ions in a cryogenic surface-electrode ion trap and a commercial, high-power, 532 nm Nd:YAG laser. Generating a Bell state in 35 $\mu$s, we directly measure an infidelity of $6(3) \times 10^{-4}$ without subtraction of experimental errors. The 532 nm gate laser wavelength suppresses intrinsic photon scattering error to $\sim 1 \times 10^{-5}$.

  We consider the implementation of quantum logic gates in trapped ions using tightly focused optical tweezers. Strong polarization gradients near the tweezer focus lead to qubit-state dependent forces on the ion. We show that these may be used to implement quantum logic gates on pairs of ion qubits in a crystal.

• Quantum density matrix theory for a laser without adiabatic elimination of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit [62.997667081978825]
  No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

  We investigate the production of all-optical $39$K Bose-Einstein condensates with different scattering lengths using a Feshbach resonance near $33$ G. We are able to produce fully condensed ensembles with $5.8times104$ atoms within $850$ ms evaporation time at a scattering length of $232. Based on our findings we describe routes towards high-flux sources of ultra-cold potassium for inertial sensing.

We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.
