Zeeman deceleration of electron-impact-excited metastable helium atoms
Katrin Dulitz, Atreju Tauschinsky, Timothy P Softley
We present experimental results that demonstrate - for the first time - the Zeeman deceleration of helium atoms in the metastable 2^3S_1state. A more than 40% decrease of the kinet…
Magnetic-film atom chip with 10 m period lattices of microtraps for quantum information science with Rydberg atoms
V. Y. F. Leung, D. R. M. Pijn, H. Schlatter +11
We describe the fabrication and construction of a setup for creating lattices of magnetic microtraps for ultracold atoms on an atom chip. The lattice is defined by lithographic pat…
Sensitive Absorption Imaging of Single Atoms in Front of a Mirror
Atreju Tauschinsky, Robert J. C. Spreeuw
In this paper we show that the sensitivity of absorption imaging of ultracold atoms can be significantly improved by imaging in a standing-wave configuration. We present simulation…
High-Precision Measurement of Rydberg State Hyperfine Splitting in a Room-Temperature Vapour Cell
Atreju Tauschinsky, Richard Newell, H. B. van Linden van den Heuvell +1
We present direct measurements of the hyperfine splitting of Rydberg states in rubidium 87 using Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) spectroscopy in a room-temperature v…
Microtrap arrays on magnetic film atom chips for quantum information science
V. Y. F. Leung, A. Tauschinsky, N. J. van Druten +1
We present two different strategies for developing a quantum information science platform, based on our experimental results with magnetic microtrap arrays on a magnetic-film atom…
Spatially Resolved Excitation of Rydberg Atoms and Surface Effects on an Atom Chip
Atreju Tauschinsky, Rutger M. T. Thijssen, S. Whitlock +2
We demonstrate spatially resolved, coherent excitation of Rydberg atoms on an atom chip. Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is used to investigate the properties of the…
Observation of Stueckelberg oscillations in dipole-dipole interactions
C. S. E. van Ditzhuijzen, Atreju Tauschinsky, H. B. van Linden van den Heuvell
We have observed Stueckelberg oscillations in the dipole-dipole interaction between Rydberg atoms with an externally applied radio-frequency field. The oscillating RF field brings…
Spatially resolved observation of dipole-dipole interaction between Rydberg atoms
C. S. E. van Ditzhuijzen, A. F. Koenderink, J. V. Hernández +3
We have observed resonant energy transfer between cold Rydberg atoms in spatially separated cylinders. Resonant dipole-dipole coupling excites the 49s atoms in one cylinder to the…
