Description

In this talk, I will report our recent experiments of precision measurement for new physics beyond the Standard Model. Owing to the existence of ultranarrow optical transitions between the ground and metastable states and many isotopes we search for a new hypothetical particle mediating a force between an electron and a neutron, through precision isotope-shift measurements using ultracold bosonic Yb atoms in a magic-wavelength lattice. Implications of the results on some specific models of elementary particle theory as well as nuclear physics are also mentioned. In addition, we only briefly report on our progress towards quantum computing using Yb atom tweezer array.
