Landau-Zener Transitions in Frozen Pairs of Rydberg Atoms

Nicolas Saquet, Anne Cournol, J. Beugnon +3 more

We have induced adiabatic transitions in pairs of frozen Rydberg sodium atoms of a supersonic beam. The diatomic ns+ns-->np+(n-1)p transition takes place in a time-dependent electric field and originates from the adiabatic change of the internal state of the pair induced by the dipole-dipole interaction. This is experimentally achieved by sweeping an electric field across the energy degeneracy ns ns-np(n-1)p. Our results fully agree with a two-level Landau-Zener model in the diatom system.

Dipole-dipole broadening of Rb ns−np microwave transitions

Hyunwook Park, Paul J. Tanner, Brigitte J. C. Claessens +2 more

The dipole-dipole broadening of $ns\ensuremath{-}np$ microwave transitions of cold Rb Rydberg atoms in a magneto-optical trap has been recorded for $28\ensuremath{\leqslant}n\ensuremath{\leqslant}51$. Since the electric dipole transition matrix elements scale as ${n}^{2}$ , a broadening rate scaling as ${n}^{4}$ is expected and a broadening rate of $8.2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}15}{n}^{4}$ MHz cm ${}^{3}$ is observed. The observed broadening is smaller than expected from a classical picture due to the spin-orbit interaction in the $np$ atoms. The broadened resonances are asymmetric and cusp shaped, and their line shapes can be reproduced by a diatomic model which takes into account the dipole-dipole interaction, including the spin-orbit interaction, the strengths of the allowed microwave transitions, and the distribution of the atomic spacings in the trap.The dipole-dipole broadening of $ns\ensuremath{-}np$ microwave transitions of cold Rb Rydberg atoms in a magneto-optical trap has been recorded for $28\ensuremath{\leqslant}n\ensuremath{\leqslant}51$.

Dipole blockade through Rydberg Forster resonance energy transfer

Thibault Vogt, Matthieu Viteau, Jianming Zhao +3 more

High resolution laser excitation of np Rydberg states of cesium atoms shows a dipole blockade at Förster resonances corresponding to the resonant dipole-dipole energy transfer of the np + np → ns + (n + 1)s reaction. The dipole-dipole interaction can be tuned on and off by the Stark effect, and such a process observed for relatively low n (25 − 41) is promising for quantum gate devices. Both Penning ionization and saturation in the laser excitation can limit the range of observation of the dipole blockadeHigh resolution laser excitation of np Rydberg states of cesium atoms shows a dipole blockade at Förster resonances corresponding to the resonant dipole-dipole energy transfer of the np + np → ns + (n + 1)s reaction.
