abstract

Rydberg atoms are remarkable tools for quantum simulation and computation. They are the focus of an intense experimental activity mainly based on low-angular-momentum Rydberg states. Unfortunately, atomic motion and levels lifetime limit the experimental time-scale to about 100$\mu$s. Here, we demonstrate laser trapping of long-lived circular Rydberg states for up to 10ms. Our method is very general and opens many opportunities for quantum simulation. The 10ms trapping time corresponds to thousands of interaction cycles in a circular-state-based quantum simulator. It is also promising for quantum metrology and quantum information with Rydberg atoms.

  1. Three-dimensional trapping of circular Rydberg atoms by a superimposed vortex light beam

    physics.atom-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A counterpropagating pair of opposite-charge Bessel vortex beams creates a three-dimensional ponderomotive lattice that can confine circular Rydberg atoms at its intensity minima.

  2. Evaporative cooling to a Rydberg crystal close to its ground state

    cond-mat.quant-gas 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Evaporative cooling of a 1D Rydberg atom chain is predicted to produce long, near-ground-state crystals with long-range spatial order.
