Engineering quantum control with twisted-light fields induced optical transitions
T. Zanon-Willette, F. Impens, E. Arimondo +3
A novel form of quantum control is proposed by applying twisted-light also known as optical vortex beams to drive ultra-narrow atomic transitions in neutral Ca, Mg, Yb, Sr, Hg and…
Survey of hyperfine structure measurements in alkali atoms
M. Allegrini, E. Arimondo, L. A. Orozco
The spectroscopic hyperfine constants for all the alkali atoms are reported. For atoms from lithium to cesium, only the long lived atomic isotopes are examined. For francium, the m…
Optical spectroscopy of a microsized Rb vapour sample in magnetic fields up to 58 tesla
D. Ciampini, R. Battesti, C. Rizzo +1
We use a magnetometer probe based on the Zeeman shift of the rubidium resonant optical transition to explore the atomic magnetic response for a wide range of field values. We recor…
Van der Waals explosion of cold Rydberg clusters
R. Faoro, C. Simonelli, M. Archimi +6
We report on the direct measurement in real space of the effect of the van der Waals forces between individual Rydberg atoms on their external degrees of freedom. Clusters of Rydbe…
Quantum engineering of atomic phase-shifts in optical clocks
T. Zanon-Willette, S. Almonacil, E. de Clercq +2
Quantum engineering of time-separated Raman laser pulses in three-level systems is presented to produce an ultra-narrow optical transition in bosonic alkali-earth clocks free from…
Ion detection in the photoionization of a Rb Bose-Einstein condensate
M. Viteau, J. Radogostowicz, A. Chotia +7
Two-photon ionization of Rubidium atoms in a magneto-optical trap and a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is experimentally investigated. Using 100 ns laser pulses, we detect single i…
Atomic micromotion and geometric forces in a triaxial magnetic trap
J. H. Müller, O. Morsch, D. Ciampini +3
Non-adiabatic motion of Bose-Einstein condensates of rubidium atoms arising from the dynamical nature of a time-orbiting-potential (TOP) trap was observed experimentally. The orbit…
