Rydberg atoms interfaced with an optical nanofiber

进行了实验中概述的建议，激发原子的高度激发里德堡态旁边的光学晶体，以大范围的状态，测量激发光谱，并制定了一个复杂的理论模型，包括表面相互作用，以配合实验。结果是在同行评审过程中，并在预印本上ArXiV.我参加了国际研讨会和国际会议在该领域是非常宝贵的发展思路和计划，为未来的工作.重要的工作已经进行了准备下一阶段的实验，我已经开发了计算光学捕获的里德伯原子下一个光学陷阱，并优化计算，以找到最好的实验参数

Performed experiments outlined in the proposal on the excitation of atoms to highly excited Rydberg states next to the optical nanofiber, to a large range of states, measured the excitation spectrum and developed a complex theoretical model including the surface interactions to match the experiment. Results are in the peer review process and available in preprint on ArXiV.I attended an international workshop and international conference in the field which were invaluable in developing ideas and plans for the coming work.Significant work has been performed on preparing for the next stage of experiments, I have developed calculations for the optical trapping of Rydberg atoms next the optical nanofiber and am optimizing the calculations to find the best experimental parameters.
