CAREER: Traps for Rydberg Atoms

这个职业奖的科学部分是一个项目，它将使用最先进的激光冷却和陷阱技术来产生冷的和被囚禁的里德堡原子。里德堡原子捕获的不同方法将被演示和表征。一旦形成，冷的和被捕获的里德堡原子将被用于研究高密度里德堡系统，并与里德堡原子进行高精度的光谱和原子干涉测量。研究部分将伴随着一个针对高中生的暑期外展计划。

9875553RaithelThe scientific component of this CAREER award is a project that will use state-of-the-art laser cooling and trapping techniques to produce cold and trapped Rydberg atoms. Different methods of Rydberg atom trapping will be demonstrated and characterized. Once formed, cold and trapped Rydberg atoms will be used to study high-density Rydberg systems and to perform high-precision spectroscopy and atom interferometry with Rydberg atoms. The research component will be accompanied by a summer outreach program directed toward high school students.
