Experimental realization of a symmetry protected topological phase of interacting bosons with Rydberg atoms
Sylvain de Léséleuc, Vincent Lienhard, Pascal Scholl +6
The concept of topological phases is a powerful framework to characterize ground states of quantum many-body systems that goes beyond the paradigm of symmetry breaking. While a few…
Topologically protected edge states in small Rydberg systems
Sebastian Weber, Sylvain de Léséleuc, Vincent Lienhard +4
We propose a simple setup of Rydberg atoms in a honeycomb lattice which gives rise to topologically protected edge states. The proposal is based on the combination of dipolar excha…
Analysis of imperfections in the coherent optical excitation of single atoms to Rydberg states
Sylvain de Léséleuc, Daniel Barredo, Vincent Lienhard +2
We study experimentally various physical limitations and technical imperfections that lead to damping and finite contrast of optically-driven Rabi oscillations between ground and R…
