Adiabatic potentials for Rydberg atoms in a ponderomotive optical lattice
We calculate the adiabatic potentials and adiabatic wavefunctions of Rydberg atoms in a one-dimensional ponderomotive optical lattice. All latticeinduced couplings between the degenerate high-angular-momentum Rydberg states are taken into account. To obtain insight into the underlying physics, we analyze the numerical results in terms of effective electric and magnetic fields produced by the la...
متن کاملRydberg-atom trajectories in a ponderomotive optical lattice
Using semiclassical simulations, we investigate the trajectories and the microwave spectra of Rydberg atoms excited in a ponderomotive optical lattice. We relate distinct features found in the microwave spectra to characteristic types of trajectory. Several methods are presented that are designed to greatly improve the trapping efficiency of the lattice and to generalize the trapping from one t...
متن کاملColloquium: Physics of optical lattice clocks
Recently invented and demonstrated optical lattice clocks hold great promise for improving the precision of modern time keeping. These clocks aim at the 10 18 fractional accuracy, which translates into a clock that would neither lose nor gain a fraction of a second over an estimated age of the Universe. In these clocks, millions of atoms are trapped and interrogated simultaneously, dramatically...
متن کاملRydberg spectroscopy in an optical lattice: blackbody thermometry for atomic clocks.
We show that optical spectroscopy of Rydberg states can provide accurate in situ thermometry at room temperature. Transitions from a metastable state to Rydberg states with principal quantum numbers of 25-30 have 200 times larger fractional frequency sensitivities to blackbody radiation than the strontium clock transition. We demonstrate that magic-wavelength lattices exist for both strontium a...
متن کاملSpin squeezing in a Rydberg lattice clock.
We theoretically demonstrate a viable approach to spin squeezing in optical lattice clocks via optical dressing of one clock state to a highly excited Rydberg state, generating switchable atomic interactions. For realistic experimental parameters, these interactions are shown to generate over 10 dB of squeezing in large ensembles within a few microseconds and without degrading the subsequent cl...
