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…
Adsorbate dynamics on a silica-coated gold surface measured by Rydberg Stark spectroscopy
J. Naber, S. Machluf, L. Torralbo-Campo +4
Trapping a Rydberg atom close to a surface is an important step towards the realisation of many proposals of quantum information or hybrid quantum systems. One of the challenges in…
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…
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…
Guiding of cold atoms by a red-detuned laser beam of moderate power
B. T. Wolschrijn, R. A. Cornelussen, R. J. C. Spreeuw +1
We report measurements on the guiding of cold Rb atoms from a magneto-optical trap by a continuous light beam over a vertical distance of 6.5 mm. For moderate laser power ($…
Implementation of quantum search algorithm using classical Fourier optics
N. Bhattacharya, H. B. van Linden van den Heuvell, R. J. C. Spreeuw
We report on an experiment on Grover's quantum search algorithm showing that {\em classical waves} can search a -item database as efficiently as quantum mechanics can. The trans…
Creating a low-dimensional quantum gas using dark states in an inelastic evanescent-wave mirror
R. J. C. Spreeuw, D. Voigt, B. T. Wolschrijn +1
We discuss an experimental scheme to create a low-dimensional gas of ultracold atoms, based on inelastic bouncing on an evanescent-wave mirror. Close to the turning point of the mi…
On the stability of standing matter waves in a trap
A. E. Muryshev, H. B. van Linden van den Heuvell, G. V. Shlyapnikov
We discuss excited Bose-condensed states and find the criterion of dynamical stability of a kink-wise state, i.e., a standing matter wave with one nodal plane perpendicular to the…
