Dark Optical Lattice of Ring Traps for Cold Atoms
We propose a new geometry of optical lattice for cold atoms, namely a lattice made of a 1D stack of dark ring traps. It is obtained through the interference pattern of a standard Gaussian beam with a counter-propagating hollow beam obtained using a setup with two conical lenses. The traps of the resulting lattice are characterized by a high confinement and a filling rate much larger than unity,...
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 کاملNondestructive light-shift measurements of single atoms in optical dipole traps
We measure the ac Stark shifts of the 5S1/2,F = 2 → 5P3/2,F ′ = 3 transitions of individual optically trapped 87Rb atoms using a nondestructive detection technique that allows us to measure the fluorescent signal of one and the same atom for over 60 s. These measurements allow the efficient and rapid characterization of single-atom traps that is required for many coherent quantum information pr...
متن کاملQuantum-enhanced protocols with mixed states using cold atoms in dipole traps
We discuss the use of cold atoms in dipole traps to demonstrate experimentally a particular class of protocols for computation and metrology based on mixed states. Modelling of the system shows that, for a specific class of problems (tracing, phase estimation), a quantum advantage can be achieved over classical algorithms for very realistic conditions and strong decoherence. We discuss the resu...
متن کاملInvestigation of Optical Dipole Traps for Trapping Neutral Atoms for Quantum Computing
Figures: Figure 1: Computational results for the Y-X potential energy profile at Z=67µm for the red-detuned example (bright spot) and the Y-X profile at Z=100µm for the blue-detuned example (dark spot). The corresponding Y-Z profiles of the trapping potential energies for both examples are also shown. These results were calculated for a 780nm laser incident on a 25µm diameter pinhole. Adapted f...
