Quantum Science with Hybrid Magnetic Lanthanide Molecules for Quantum Simulations and Precision Measurements
Abstract
Over the last decade the idea of integrating very different physical components into hybrid quantum system has received a lot of attention. This hybrid approach promises to take advantage of each component's best properties, thereby realizing new tools for quantum information processing, condensed matter physics, and high-precision measurements. Our research objective is to explore a novel class hybrid quantum system, hybrid magnetic lanthanide molecules (HMLMs), where lanthanide atoms are brought and bound together with neutral atoms or ions from the first or second row of the Periodic Table. By binding these ultracold atoms or ions we will expand our capabilities to create versatile molecular systems with designed exotic properties and extend the frontiers of quantum science. HML molecules are expected to possess key features that are not present in lanthanide atoms or homonuclear lanthanide, alkali-metal or alkaline-earth molecules.
