Magnetic lattices for ultracold atoms

Tien Duy Tran, Yibo Wang, ALex Glaetzle +3

This article reviews the development in our laboratory of magnetic lattices comprising periodic arrays of magnetic microtraps created by patterned magnetic films to trap periodic a…

Discrete time crystal in globally driven interacting quantum systems without disorder

Wing Chi Yu, Jirawat Tangpanitanon, Alexander W. Glaetzle +2

Time crystals in periodically driven systems have initially been studied assuming either the ability to quench the Hamiltonian between different many-body regimes, the presence of…

Simulating Quantum Spin Models using Rydberg-Excited Atomic Ensembles in Magnetic Microtrap Arrays

Shannon Whitlock, Alexander W. Glaetzle, Peter Hannaford

We propose a scheme to simulate lattice spin models based on strong and long-range interacting Rydberg atoms stored in a large-spacing array of magnetic microtraps. Each spin is en…

Controlled long-range interactions between Rydberg atoms and ions

Thomas Secker, Rene Gerritsma, Alexander W. Glaetzle +1

We theoretically investigate trapped ions interacting with atoms that are coupled to Rydberg states. The strong polarizabilities of the Rydberg levels increases the interaction str…

Magic distances in the blockade mechanism of Rydberg p and d states

Benoît Vermersch, Alexander W. Glaetzle, Peter Zoller

We show that the Rydberg blockade mechanism, which is well known in the case of s states, can be significantly different for p and d states due to the van der Waals couplings betwe…

Designing Frustrated Quantum Magnets with Laser-Dressed Rydberg Atoms

Alexander W. Glaetzle, Marcello Dalmonte, Rejish Nath +3

We show how a broad class of lattice spin-1/2 models with angular- and distance-dependent couplings can be realized with cold alkali atoms stored in optical or magnetic trap arrays…

Quantum Spin Ice and dimer models with Rydberg atoms

Alexander W. Glaetzle, Marcello Dalmonte, Rejish Nath +3

Quantum spin ice represents a paradigmatic example on how the physics of frustrated magnets is related to gauge theories. In the present work we address the problem of approximatel…

Parallel execution of quantum gates in a long linear ion chain via Rydberg mode shaping

Weibin Li, Alexander W. Glaetzle, Rejish Nath +1

We present a mechanism that permits the parallel execution of multiple quantum gate operations within a single long linear ion chain. Our approach is based on large coherent forces…

QED with a spherical mirror

G. Hétet, L. Slodicka, A. Glaetzle +2

We investigate the Quantum-Electro-Dynamic properties of an atomic electron close to the focus of a spherical mirror. We first show that the spontaneous emission and excited state…

A single trapped atom in front of an oscillating mirror

A. W. Glaetzle, K. Hammerer, A. J. Daley +2

We investigate the Wigner-Weisskopf decay of a two level atom in front of an oscillating mirror. This work builds on and extends previous theoretical and experimental studies of th…
