Rydberg atoms interfaced with an optical nanofiber

进行了提议中概述的关于原子激发到纳米光纤旁的高激发里德堡态的大范围实验，测量了激发光谱，并开发了包括表面相互作用在内的复杂理论模型以与实验相匹配。结果在同行评审过程中，并在Arxiv上预印。我参加了该领域的一个国际研讨会和国际会议，这对为下一步的工作制定想法和计划具有非常宝贵的价值。为下一阶段的实验做了重要的准备工作，我已经开发了对光纤纳米纤维旁边的里德堡原子的光学陷阱的计算，并正在优化计算，以找到最佳的实验参数。

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.
