Atomtronics is an emerging field that aims to manipulate ultracold atom moving in matter-
wave circuits for fundamental studies in both quantum science and technological …

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 …

The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought
experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrödinger's cat. These experiments have now …

In the past two decades, scientists and engineers in a variety of disciplines have been
excited by the idea of quantum information processing 1, in which a computation is carried …

When two quantum systems interact strongly with each other, their simultaneous excitation
by the same driving pulse may be forbidden. The phenomenon is known as blockade of …

The main objective of quantum simulation is an in-depth understanding of many-body
physics, which is important for fundamental issues (quantum phase transitions, transport,…) …

Trapping and manipulating ultracold atoms and degenerate quantum gases in magnetic
micropotentials is reviewed. Starting with a comprehensive description of the basic concepts …

Engineering light-matter interactions at the quantum level has been central to the pursuit of
quantum optics for decades. Traditionally, this has been done by coupling emitters, typically …

Superconducting atom chips and Rydberg atoms are promising tools for quantum
information processing operations based on the dipole blockade effect. Nevertheless, one …

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 …
