Long-range Rydberg-Rydberg interactions in calcium, strontium and ytterbium

C. L. Vaillant, M. P. A. Jones, R. M. Potvliege

Long-range dipole-dipole and quadrupole-quadrupole interactions between pairs of Rydberg atoms are calculated perturbatively for calcium, strontium and ytterbium within the Coulomb…

Many-body Physics with Alkaline-Earth Rydberg lattices

R. Mukherjee, J. Millen, R. Nath +2

We explore the prospects for confining alkaline-earth Rydberg atoms in an optical lattice via optical dressing of the secondary core valence electron. Focussing on the particular c…

Two-electron excitation of an interacting cold Rydberg gas

J. Millen, G. Lochead, M. P. A. Jones

We report the creation of an interacting cold Rydberg gas of strontium atoms. We show that the excitation spectrum of the inner valence electron is sensitive to the interactions in…

Rotational Response of Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates in Ring Traps

P. L. Halkyard, M. P. A. Jones, S. A. Gardiner

We consider a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a ring trap in a rotating frame, and show how to determine the response of such a configuration to being in a rotating…

Controlled Single-Photon Emission from a Single Trapped Two-Level Atom

Benoit Darquié, Matthew Jones, Jos Dingjan +6

By illuminating an individual rubidium atom stored in a tight optical tweezer with short resonant light pulses, we create an efficient triggered source of single photons with a wel…
