A key method to produce trapped and laser-cooled molecules is the magneto-optical trap (MOT), which is conventionally created using light red detuned from an optical transition. In this work, we report a MOT for CaF molecules created using blue-detuned light. The blue-detuned MOT (BDM) achieves temperatures well below the Doppler limit and provides the highest densities and phase-space densities reported to date in CaF MOTs. Our results suggest that BDMs are likely achievable in many relatively light molecules including polyatomic ones, but our measurements suggest that BDMs will be challenging to realize in substantially heavier molecules due to sub-mK trap depths. In addition to record temperatures and densities, we find that the BDM substantially simplifies and enhances the loading of molecules into optical tweezer arrays, which are a promising platform for quantum simulation and quantum information processing. Notably, the BDM reduces molecular number requirements ninefold compared to a conventional red-detuned MOT, while not requiring additional hardware. Our work therefore substantially simplifies preparing large-scale molecular tweezer arrays, which are a novel platform for simulation of quantum many-body dynamics and quantum information processing with molecular qubits.

We present a novel method for the suppression of laser intensity noise and pulse-to-pulse energy fluctuation, based on second-harmonic generation. This method is broadband, passive, has low complexity, and suppresses noise uniformly over the noise spectrum. We theoretically model, analytically analyze, and numerically simulate this technique’s performance for cw and nanosecond pulse lasers with different pulse shapes. We demonstrate broadband relative intensity noise suppression of up to 48 dB, and pulse-to-pulse energy fluctuation suppression of up to 50 dB, and highlight the significance of these findings for extending atom trap storage time, e.g., for quantum information processing.

Slowing down light in on-chip photonic devices strongly enhances the light-matter interaction, but typically also leads to increased backscattering and small-bandwidth operation. It was shown recently that, if one modifies the edge termination of a photonic Chern insulator such that the edge mode wraps many times around the Brillouin zone, light can be slowed to arbitrarily low group velocity over a large bandwidth, without being subject to backscattering. Here we study the robustness of these in-gap slow light modes against fabrication disorder, finding that disorder on scales significantly larger than the minigaps between edge bands is tolerable. We identify the mechanism for wavepacket breakup as disorder-induced velocity renormalization and calculate the associated breakup time.

We define the entanglement entropy of free fermion quantum states in an arbitrary space-time slice of a discrete set of points and particularly investigate timelike (causal) slices. For one-dimensional lattice free fermions with an energy bandwidth E0, we calculate the time-direction entanglement entropy SA in a time-direction slice of a set of times tn=nτ (1≤n≤K) spanning a time length t on the same site. For zero-temperature ground states, we find that SA shows volume law when τ≫τ0=2π/E0; in contrast, SA∼13lnt when τ=τ0, and SA∼16lnt when τ<τ0, resembling the Calabrese-Cardy formula for one flavor of nonchiral and chiral fermion, respectively. For finite-temperature thermal states, the mutual information also saturates when τ<τ0. For noneigenstates, volume law in t and signatures of the Lieb-Robinson bound velocity can be observed in SA. For generic space-time slices with one point per site, the zero-temperature entanglement entropy shows a clear transition from area law to volume law when the slice varies from spacelike to timelike.
