The recent advances in single atom detection and manipulation in experiments with
ultracold quantum gases are reviewed. The discussion starts with the basic principles of …

Atoms in highly excited (Rydberg) states have a number of unique properties which make
them attractive for applications in quantum information: large dipole moments, lifetimes, and …

We experimentally realize Rydberg excitations in Bose-Einstein condensates of rubidium
atoms loaded into quasi-one-dimensional traps and in optical lattices. Our results for …

The dipole blockade of Rydberg excitations is a hallmark of the strong interactions between
atoms in these high-lying quantum states [M. Saffman, TG Walker, and K. Mølmer, Rev. Mod …

Three-photon laser excitation of Rydberg states by three different laser beams can be
arranged in a starlike geometry that simultaneously eliminates the recoil effect and Doppler …

We demonstrate a hybrid method based on field ionization and state-selective deexcitation
capable of measuring the lifetimes of high-lying Rydberg levels. For n S Rydberg states of …

Experiments performed within the last year have demonstrated Rydberg state mediated
quantum gates and deterministic entanglement between pairs of trapped neutral atoms …

Атомы в высоковозбуждённых (ридберговских) состояниях обладают рядом
уникальных свойств, делающих их привлекательными для применений в квантовой …

We present our experimental results of two-photon laser excitation 5 S 1/2→ 5 P 3/2→ nS
1/2 of Rb atoms to Rydberg nS 1/2 states with a homemade 480 nm laser in the second …

Rydberg spectroscopy of rubidium cold atoms trapped in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) was
performed in a quartz cell. When electric fields acting on the atoms generated by a plate …
