Spontaneous emission and energy shifts of a Rydberg rubidium atom close to an optical nanofiber

E. Stourm, M. Lepers, J. Robert +3

In this paper, we report on numerical calculations of the spontaneous emission rates and Lamb shifts of a ${}^{87}\text{Rb}$ atom in a Rydberg-excited state $\left(n\le 30\right)$ lo…
