Experimental Studies of Atoms in Confined Spaces (Physics)

腔QED研究正在继续进行， 原子被限制在两个原子之间非常狭窄的空间中的性质 平面镜 在这种情况下， 利率被修改，有时显着，由相互作用 在原子和金属边界之间。 现在 计划用光谱测量货车的范德瓦耳斯位移 当原子被放置在明确的位置时， 在通道内，随后被激发成高度 极化里德堡态 该位置是使用 激光驻波产生的力;原子 被困在最低振动量子态中 光威尔斯阱 水

Cavity QED investigations are being continued into the properties of atoms confined to a very narrow space between two plane mirrors. In this situation energy levels and radiation rates are modified, sometimes dramatically, by the interaction between the atom and the metallic boundaries. It is now planned to measure spectroscopically the van der Waals shifts of the levels when atoms are placed at well defined locations within the channel and subsequently excited into a highly polarizable Rydberg state. The position is manipulated using the force produced by a standing wave of laser light; the atoms are trapped in the lowest vibrational quantum states of the optical potential wells centered on the nudes of the standing water.
