We present a review of quantum computation with neutral atom qubits. After an overview of
architectural options and approaches to preparing large qubit arrays we examine Rydberg …

Rydberg atoms with principal quantum number n⪢ 1 have exaggerated atomic properties
including dipole-dipole interactions that scale as n 4 and radiative lifetimes that scale as n 3 …

We use perturbation theory to directly calculate the van der Waals and dipole-dipole energy
shifts of pairs of interacting Rb Rydberg atoms for different quantum numbers n, ℓ, j, and mj …

We propose blue-detuned optical traps that are suitable for trapping of both ground-state
and Rydberg excited atoms. The addition of a background compensation field or a suitable …

We investigate coherent population trapping in a strongly interacting ultracold Rydberg gas.
Despite the strong van der Waals interactions and interparticle correlations, we observe the …

We present an introductory review of the latest advancements cold Rydberg atom research.
First, we briefly summarize the exaggerated properties of Rydberg atoms, and we discuss …

The energy level spectrum of a many-body system containing two shared, collective
Rydberg excitations is measured using cold atoms in an optical dipole trap. Two pairs of …

Cold Rydberg atoms exposed to strong magnetic fields possess unique properties which
open the pathway for an intriguing many-body dynamics taking place in Rydberg gases …

We demonstrate Doppler-free, purely optical detection of laser-excited rubidium Rydberg
atoms in a room-temperature gas cell. The Rydberg atoms are excited with a frequency …
