Sub-Doppler laser cooling and optical transport of cesium with static magnetic fields

Laser cooling of alkali atoms typically requires time-varying magnetic fields, introducing unwanted coupling between atom preparation and coherent operations. Here we demonstrate sub-Doppler laser cooling and optical transport of alkali atoms in a fully static magnetic-field configuration. Using a blue-detuned Type-II magneto-optical trap (MOT) operating on the closed $F=3 \rightarrow F'=2$ transition of the D2 line in cesium, we achieve temperatures of 17(1) $\mu$K without changing the magnetic-field gradient between cooling stages. This enables direct loading into a shallow optical lattice and transport over 17 cm within the same static-field environment. In contrast to conventional alkali cooling schemes with dynamic fields, our approach establishes a continuous cooling and transport protocol compatible with static-field platforms. These results validate Type-II cooling as a practical technique for alkali atoms and provide a new route toward continuous-operation architectures in sensing and quantum computing.

Demonstration of a Logical Architecture Uniting Motion and In-Place Entanglement

We demonstrate a logical neutral atom architecture that integrates atom motion with in-place entanglement to achieve lower overheads than entangling-zone approaches. Using a 114-qubit device, we perform three proof-of-principle logical-qubit experiments. First, we implement a pre-compiled, non-scalable variant of Shor's algorithm, observing improved logical-over-physical performance, including with loss correction and leakage detection, achieving up to a 2x reduction in TVD. Second, we construct constant-depth logical CX ladders; on current hardware these execute with serial entangling operations, yet still yield 2-4x lower error for 8 and 12 logical qubits. Third, we prepare the [[16,4,4]] code and perform single-round decoding with post-processed error correction, achieving 8x improvement on logical vs physical. These results demonstrate how combining motion with in-place entanglement offers lower overhead than entangling-zone approaches.

In situ and non situ surface x-ray scattering studies of in plane Cs+ ordering in Helmholtz planes of Pt(111) surface

In-plane ordering of Cs+ layers in Helmhotlz planes was studied on Pt(111) surface in 0.1 M CsF electrolyte solutions with synchtrotron surface x-ray scattering techniques. The ordering was measured in a new transmission cell, designed for in situ and non situ measurements and high-temperature sample annealing all in the cell without sample transfer steps. At -850 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, (2x2) in-plane scattering peaks were weak under in situ condition and grew rapidly under non situ condition as the surface emersed from the electrolyte. The models for the (2x2) structures are presented and differences between in situ and non situ conditions are discussed.

Direct determination of one-dimensional interphase structures using normalized crystal truncation rod analysis

A one-dimensional non-iterative direct method was employed for normalized crystal truncation rod. The non-iterative approach, utilizing Kramers-Kronig relation, avoids the ambiguities due to the improper initial model or the incomplete convergence in the conventional iterative methods. The validity and limitation of the present method are demonstrated through both numerical simulations and experiments with Pt (111) in 0.1 M CsF aqueous solution. The present method is compared to conventional iterative phase-retrieval methods.
