Storage and control of optical photons using Rydberg polaritons
D. Maxwell, D. J. Szwer, D. P. Barato +6
We use a microwave field to control the quantum state of optical photons stored in a cold atomic cloud. The photons are stored in highly excited collective states (Rydberg polarito…
Non-linear optics using cold Rydberg atoms
J. D. Pritchard, K. J. Weatherill, C. S. Adams
The implementation of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a cold Rydberg gas provides an attractive route towards strong photon--photon interactions and fully determi…
Piezoelectrically-actuated time-averaged atomic microtraps
Adam D. West, Christopher G. Wade, Kevin J. Weatherill +1
We present a scheme for creating tight and adiabatic time-averaged atom-traps through the piezoelectric actuation of nanomagnetic structures. We show that potentials formed by the…
Three-photon electromagnetically induced transparency using Rydberg states
Christopher Carr, Monsit Tanasittikosol, Armen Sargsyan +3
We demonstrate electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a four-level cascade system where the upper level is a Rydberg state. The observed spectral features are sub-Dopple…
Sub-natural linewidths in excited-state spectroscopy
M. Tanasittikosol, C. Carr, C. S. Adams +1
We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, absorption on an excited-state atomic transition in a thermal vapor where the lower state is coherently pumped. We find that the t…
