Rydberg excitation of a Bose-Einstein condensate

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1203.1261v1.pdf


We have performed two-photon excitation via the 62P3=2 state to n=50-80 S or D Rydberg state
in Bose-Einstein condensates of rubidium atoms. The Rydberg excitation was performed in a quartz
cell, where electric fields generated by plates external to the cell created electric charges on the cell
walls. Avoiding accumulation of the charges and realizing good control over the applied electric field
was obtained when the fields were applied only for a short time, typically a few microseconds.
Rydberg excitations of the Bose-Einstein condensates loaded into quasi one-dimensional traps and
in optical lattices have been investigated. The results for condensates expanded to different sizes
in the one-dimensional trap agree well with the intuitive picture of a chain of Rydberg excitations
controlled by the dipole-dipole interaction. The optical lattice applied along the one-dimensional
geometry produces localized, collective Rydberg excitations controlled by the nearest-neighbour
blockade.
PACS numbers: 03.65.Xp, 03.75.Lm


…………………



V. CONCLUSIONS
We have demonstrated the controlled preparation
of Rydberg excitations in large ensembles of ultracold
atoms forming structures of localized collective excita-
tions, either self-generated by the long-range interactions
between Rydberg atoms or imposed by an optical lattice.
Our results can straightforwardly be extended to two-
and three-dimensional lattice geometries and to even
larger lattice spacings that will allow selective Rydberg
excitation on a single site. Furthermore, appropriate
detection techniques such as microchannel plates should
allow direct observation of the distribution of Rydberg
excitations in the lattice.
Classical and quantum correlations, and highly en-
tangled collective states are expected to be created, as
pointed out in [42] for one dimensional Rydberg gases
and in [43] for one-dimensional optical lattices. Our
results pave the way towards their controlled creation.

Thanks for the explanation. This type of nuclear physics will get us to a new energy source—maybe other uses we cannot even imagine.

There are few things more sweet than having results that agree well with one's intuitive picture.

The atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate follow the Jaynes-Cummings model.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaynes%E2%80%93Cummings_model
Jaynes–Cummings model


More to the point, when a Ni/H system get going after state up, the systems
becomes totally entangled.


This type of system is described by the Jaynes–Cummings–Hubbard model

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaynes%E2%80%93Cummings%E2%80%93Hubbard_model

Drawing a connection between the Ni/H reactor and a Bose-Einstein
condensate as follows:


http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20208523

In spite of their different natures, light and matter can be unified under
the strong-coupling regime, yielding superpositions of the two, referred to
as dressed states or polaritons. After initially being demonstrated in bulk
semiconductors and atomic systems, strong-coupling phenomena have been
recently realized in solid-state optical microcavities. Strong coupling is
an essential ingredient in the physics spanning from many-body quantum
coherence phenomena, such as Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity,
to cavity quantum electrodynamics. Within cavity quantum electrodynamics,
the Jaynes-Cummings model describes the interaction of a single fermionic
two-level system with a single bosonic photon mode. For a photon number
larger than one, known as quantum strong coupling, a significant
anharmonicity is predicted for the ladder-like spectrum of dressed states.
For optical transitions in semiconductor nanostructures, first signatures
of the quantum strong coupling were recently reported. Here we use advanced
coherent nonlinear spectroscopy to explore a strongly coupled
exciton-cavity system. We measure and simulate its four-wave mixing
response, granting direct access to the coherent dynamics of the first and
second rungs of the Jaynes-Cummings ladder. The agreement of the rich
experimental evidence with the predictions of the Jaynes-Cummings model is
proof of the quantum strong-coupling regime in the investigated solid-state
system.



This says to me that the Ni/H system obeys the same rules as the BEC.

I showed you that in such a Jaynes-Cummings system, the atoms share the
frequency of a quantum as defined by a coupling constant.

This how the FREQUENT of a gamma ray quantum is shared(chopped up) between
all the ensemble members of the NI/H system.
