Optomechanical Rydberg-atom excitation via dynamic Casimir-Polder coupling.
We study the optomechanical coupling of a oscillating effective mirror with a Rydberg atomic gas, mediated by the dynamical atom-mirror Casimir-Polder force. This coupling may produce a near-field resonant atomic excitation whose probability scales as ∝(d(2)an(4)t)(2)/z(0)(8), where z(0) is the average atom-surface distance, d the atomic dipole moment, a the mirror's effective oscillation ampli...
متن کاملCasimir-Polder interaction between an atom and a dielectric slab
We present an explicit analytic calculation of the energy-level shift of an atom in front of a nondispersive and nondissipative dielectric slab. We work with the fully quantized electromagnetic field, taking retardation into account. We give the shift as a two-dimensional integral and use asymptotic analysis to find expressions for it in various retarded and nonretarded limiting cases. The resu...
متن کاملAdiabatic rapid passage two-photon excitation of a Rydberg atom
We considered the two-photon adiabatic rapid passage excitation of a single atom from the ground to a Rydberg state. Three schemes were analyzed: both pump and Stokes fields chirped and pulsed, only the pump field chirped, and only the pump field pulsed and chirped while the Stokes field is continuous wave (CW). In all three cases high transfer efficiencies > 99% were achieved for the experimen...
متن کاملRotary echo tests of coherence in Rydberg-atom excitation
Rotary echoes are employed to study excitation dynamics in manybody Rydberg systems. In this method, a phase reversal of a narrow-band excitation field is applied at a variable time during the excitation pulse. The visibility of the resulting echo signal reveals the degree of coherence of the excitation process. Rotary echoes are measured for several nD5/2 Rydberg levels of rubidium with princi...
متن کاملCollective excitation of Rydberg-atom ensembles beyond the √ N enhancement
In an ensemble of laser-driven atoms involving strongly interacting Rydberg states, the excitation probability is usually strongly suppressed. In contrast, here we identify a regime in which the steadystate Rydberg excited fraction is enhanced by the interaction. This effect is associated with the build-up of many-body coherences, induced by coherent multi-photon excitations between collective ...
