A single hollow-beam optical trap for cold atoms
We present an optical trap for atoms which we have developed for precision spectroscopy measurements. Cold atoms are captured in a dark region of space inside a blue-detuned hollow laser beam formed by an axicon. We analyse the light potential in a ray optics picture and experimentally demonstrate trapping of laser-cooled metastable xenon atoms.
متن کاملTheory of an optical dipole trap for cold atoms
The theory of an atom dipole trap composed of a focused, far red-detuned, trapping laser beam, and a pair of red-detuned, counterpropagating, cooling beams is developed for the simplest realistic multilevel dipole interaction scheme based on a model of a ~315!-level atom. The description of atomic motion in the trap is based on the quantum kinetic equations for the atomic density matrix and the...
متن کاملQuantum computing with alkaline-Earth-metal atoms.
We present a complete scheme for quantum information processing using the unique features of alkaline-earth-metal atoms. We show how two completely independent lattices can be formed for the 1S0 and 3P0 states, with one used as a storage lattice for qubits encoded on the nuclear spin, and the other as a transport lattice to move qubits and perform gate operations. We discuss how the 3P2 level c...
متن کاملCross Sections for the Collisions of Alkaline Earth Atoms
The total attenuation cross sections, a*, were measured for collisions of an excited atomic beam of Mg, Ca or Sr with a target of Cl2 molecules. The experimental o* values equal: 85 Ä2, 100 Ä2 and 180 Ä2 for Mg*, Ca* and Sr*, respectively. Moreover, the reactive cross sections, OR were calculated, assuming the "harpoon mechanism" for the reactions in question. The obtained values are: OR* (Mg* ...
