Collective suppression of optical hyperfine pumping in dense clouds of atoms in microtraps
Shimon Machluf, Julian B. Naber, Maarten L. Soudijn +2
We observe a density-dependent collective suppression of optical pumping between the hyperfine ground states in an array of submicrometer-sized clouds of cold rubidium atoms. The s…

Controlling Stray Electric Fields on an Atom Chip for Rydberg Experiments
D. Davtyan, S. Machluf, M. L. Soudijn +4
Experiments handling Rydberg atoms near surfaces must necessarily deal with the high sensitivity of Rydberg atoms to (stray) electric fields that typically emanate from adsorbates…
