A coherent superposition of Feshbach dimers and Efimov trimers
A powerful experimental technique to study Efimov physics at positive
scattering lengths is demonstrated. We use the Feshbach dimers as a local
reference for Efimov trimers by creating a coherent superposition of both
states. Measurement of its coherent evolution provides information on the
binding energy of the trimers with unprecedented precision and yields access to
previously inaccessible parameters of the system such as the Efimov trimers'
lifetime and the elastic processes between atoms and the constituents of the
superposition state. We develop a comprehensive data analysis suitable for
noisy experimental data that confirms the trustworthiness of our demonstration.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figure
Observation of coherent oscillations in association of dimers from a thermal gas of ultracold atoms
We report the observation of coherent oscillations in conversion efficiency
of molecules formed from a thermal gas of ultracold atoms. Finite thermal
energy of the gas causes loss of coherence when a broad continuum is resonantly
coupled to a discrete bound state. Restoration of the coherence can be achieved
through non-adiabatic transitions of the dressed molecular energy level that
are induced by a strong modulation pulse with fast envelope dynamics.
Conditions to observe coherent oscillations are verified, and control of their
properties is demonstrated. The main experimental findings are supported by
theoretical modeling and numerical calculations.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
DESIGN and APPLICATIONS OF A UNIVERSAL POWER MANAGEMENT MIXED-SIGNAL SoC CONTROLLER (UPMC) PLATFORM by
This paper presents engineering application examples of a Universal Power Management mixedsignal SoC Controller (UPMC) for digital control and management. The UPMC controller platform was designed with the vision of allowing the complete migration path from analog to digital control in applications in which the advantages of the digital technology prevail.

Efimov resonance position near a narrow Feshbach resonance in Li-Cs mixture
In the vicinity of a narrow Feshbach resonances Efimov features are expected
to be characterized by the resonance's properties rather than the van der Waals
length of the interatomic potential. Although this theoretical prediction is
well-established by now, it still lacks experimental confirmation. Here, we
apply our recently developed three-channel model [Yudkin and Khaykovich, Phys.
Rev. A 103, 063303 (2021)] to the experimental result obtained in a
mass-imbalanced Li-Cs mixture in the vicinity of the narrowest
resonance explored to date [Johansen at. al. Nat. Phys. 13, 731 (2017)]. We
confirm that the observed position of the Efimov resonance is dictated mainly
by the resonance physics while the influence of the van der Waals tail of the
interatomic potential is minor. We show that the resonance position is strongly
influenced by the presence of another Feshbach resonance which significantly
alters the effective background scattering length at the narrow resonance
position.Comment: 8 page
Reshaped three-body interactions and the observation of an Efimov state in the continuum
Abstract Efimov trimers are exotic three-body quantum states that emerge from the different types of three-body continua in the vicinity of two-atom Feshbach resonances. In particular, as the strength of the interaction is decreased to a critical point, an Efimov state merges into the atom-dimer threshold and eventually dissociates into an unbound atom-dimer pair. Here we explore the Efimov state in the vicinity of this critical point using coherent few-body spectroscopy in 7Li atoms using a narrow two-body Feshbach resonance. Contrary to the expectation, we find that the 7Li Efimov trimer does not immediately dissociate when passing the threshold, and survives as a metastable state embedded in the atom-dimer continuum. We identify this behavior with a universal phenomenon related to the emergence of a repulsive interaction in the atom-dimer channel which reshapes the three-body interactions in any system characterized by a narrow Feshbach resonance. Specifically, our results shed light on the nature of 7Li Efimov states and provide a path to understand various puzzling phenomena associated with them
