Landau Quantization and Time Dependence in the Ionization of Cold, Strongly Magnetized Rydberg Atoms

Jongsoo Choi, Jeffrey R. Guest, E. Hansis +2 more

The electric-field-ionization and autoionization behavior of cold Rydberg atoms of 85Rb in magnetic fields up to 6 T is investigated. Multiple ionization potentials and field-ionization bands reflecting the Landau energy quantization of the quasifree Rydberg electron are observed. The time-resolved and state-selective field-ionization study provides evidence of mixing and spin flips of the Rydberg electron. Spin-orbit coupling combined with mixing gives rise to a Feshbach-type autoionization of metastable positive-energy atoms.

Quantum computation with longlived Rydberg-Landau atoms featuring suppressed ionization by the Magnetic Cage

Amir Momtaheni, Mohammadsadegh Khazali

Atomic processing units require robust entanglement between individual qubits, typically achieved via excitation to highly interacting Rydberg states. However, short Rydberg lifetimes and ionization risks limit the quantum volume score of the atomic processing units. Inspired by Landau resonances in alkaline atoms, we introduce Rydberg-Landau (rLandau) states created under a strong magnetic field (2.5 Tesla). These states exhibit significantly extended lifetimes and a magnetic confinement mechanism that prevents ionization, even under intense laser fields. We analyze their wavefunctions, excitation dynamics, dipole transition rules, lifetimes, and interactions, identifying states optimal for high-fidelity quantum operations. This approach simplifies the coherent excitation of long-lived, strongly interacting rLandau circular states akin to Coulombic counterparts, enabling deeper and more complex quantum algorithms.
