Measurements of blackbody radiation-induced transition rates between high-lying S, P and D Rydberg levels
Matteo Archimi, Matteo Ceccanti, Marco Distefano +7
We report experimental measurements of the rates of blackbody radiation-induced transitions between high-lying (n>60) S, P and D Rydberg levels of rubidium atoms in a magneto-optic…
Realization of a Cold Mixture of Fermionic Chromium and Lithium Atoms
Elettra Neri, Alessio Ciamei, Cristiano Simonelli +4
We report on the production of a novel cold mixture of fermionic Cr and Li atoms delivered by two Zeeman-slowed atomic beams and collected within a magneto-optical tra…
Measurements of individual and ensemble lifetimes of high-lying Rb Rydberg states
M. Archimi, C. Simonelli, L. Di Virgilio +7
We demonstrate a hybrid method based on field ionization and state-selective de-excitation capable of measuring the lifetimes of high-lying Rydberg states. For nS Rydberg states of…
Realization of a high power optical trapping setup free from thermal lensing effects
Cristiano Simonelli, Elettra Neri, Alessio Ciamei +4
Transmission of high power laser beams through partially absorbing materials modifies the light propagation via a thermally-induced effect known as thermal lensing. This may cause…
De-excitation spectroscopy of strongly interacting Rydberg gases
C. Simonelli, M. Archimi, L. Asteria +5
We present experimental results on the controlled de-excitation of Rydberg states in a cold gas of Rb atoms. The effect of the van der Waals interactions between the Rydberg atoms…
Experimental signatures of an absorbing-state phase transition in an open driven many-body quantum system
Ricardo Gutierrez, Cristiano Simonelli, Matteo Archimi +6
Understanding and probing phase transitions in non-equilibrium systems is an ongoing challenge in physics. A particular instance are phase transitions that occur between a non-fluc…
