Evidence for strong van der Waals-type Rydberg-Rydberg interaction in thermal vapor
T. Baluktsian, B. Huber, R. Löw +1
We present evidence for Rydberg-Rydberg interaction in a gas of rubidium atoms above room temperature. Rabi oscillations on the nanosecond timescale to different Rydberg states are…
GHz Rabi flopping to Rydberg states in hot atomic vapor cells
B. Huber, T. Baluktsian, M. Schlagmüller +4
We report on the observation of Rabi oscillations to a Rydberg state on a timescale below one nanosecond in thermal rubidium vapor. We use a bandwidth-limited pulsed excitation and…
Fabrication method for micro vapor cells for alkali atoms
T. Baluktsian, C. Urban, T. Bublat +3
A quantum network which consists of several components should ideally work on a single physical platform. Neutral alkali atoms have the potential to be very well suited for this pu…
Coherent Excitation of Rydberg Atoms in Thermal Vapor Microcells
H. Kübler, J. P. Shaffer, T. Baluktsian +2
The coherent control of mesoscopic ensembles of atoms and Rydberg atom blockade are the basis for proposed quantum devices such as integrable gates and single photon sources. So fa…
