Creating squeezed and non-classical collective motional many-body states through stroboscopic Rydberg dressing

Roman Wußler, Chris Nill, Sylvain de Léséleuc +2

Realizing conditional quantum operations, e.g., quantum gates, for quantum computing and simulation requires controlled interactions between particles. Often, these interactions de…

Spectroscopic signatures of emergent elementary excitations in a kinetically constrained long-range interacting two-dimensional spin system

Tobias Kaltenmark, Chris Nill, Christian Groß +1

Lattice spin models featuring kinetic constraints constitute a paradigmatic setting for the investigation of glassiness and localization phenomena. The intricate dynamical behavior…

Entanglement of mechanical oscillators mediated by a Rydberg tweezer chain

Cedric Wind, Chris Nill, Julia Gamper +5

Mechanical systems provide a unique test bed for studying quantum phenomena at macroscopic length scales. However, realizing quantum states that feature quantum correlations among…

Resonant stroboscopic Rydberg dressing: electron-motion coupling and multi-body interactions

Chris Nill, Sylvain de Léséleuc, Christian Groß +1

Rydberg dressing traditionally refers to a technique where interactions between cold atoms are imprinted through the far off-resonant continuous-wave excitation of high-lying Rydbe…

Magic running- and standing-wave optical traps for Rydberg atoms

Lukas Ahlheit, Chris Nill, Daniil Svirskiy +6

Magic trapping of ground and Rydberg states, which equalizes the AC Stark shifts of these two levels, enables increased ground-to-Rydberg state coherence times. We measure via phot…

Avalanche terahertz photon detection in a Rydberg tweezer array

Chris Nill, Albert Cabot, Arno Trautmann +2

We propose a protocol for the amplified detection of low-intensity terahertz radiation using Rydberg tweezer arrays. The protocol offers single photon sensitivity together with a l…

Coherent spin-phonon scattering in facilitated Rydberg lattices

Matteo Magoni, Chris Nill, Igor Lesanovsky

We investigate the dynamics of a spin system with facilitation constraint that can be studied using Rydberg atoms in arrays of optical tweezer traps. The elementary degrees of free…

Many-body radiative decay in strongly interacting Rydberg ensembles

Chris Nill, Kay Brandner, Beatriz Olmos +2

When atoms are excited to high-lying Rydberg states they interact strongly with dipolar forces. The resulting state-dependent level shifts allow to study many-body systems displayi…
