Rydberg atoms interfaced with an optical nanofiber

将纳米光纤旁的原子激发至高激发里德堡态，并在大范围内进行实验，测量激发谱，建立包括表面相互作用在内的复杂理论模型与实验相匹配。结果在同行评审过程中，可在ArXiV上获得预印本。我参加了该领域的一个国际讲习班和国际会议，这对为今后的工作制定想法和计划非常宝贵。为下一阶段的实验做了大量的准备工作，我已经开发了光学纳米纤维旁边的里德伯原子的光捕获计算，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.
