We’ve successfully integrated the 679nm and 707nm lasers into our experiment. They improve the blue and red mot stages by closing two decay channels, leading to a factor of 10 increase in density that is helpful to move forward with our optical tweezers. Stay tuned for the next update! |
Rydberg atoms in optical tweezers are great for quantum technologies! We are building the first Italian platform based on programmable arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms. We use strontium, which provides states with long coherence time and state-selective transitions enabling advanced manipulation and readout schemes for novel approaches to quantum simulation and quantum computation.
