Cold Rydberg atoms are a promising platform for quantum technologies, and combining
them with optical waveguides has the potential to create robust quantum information …

Complete control of light-matter interactions at a single quantum level is critical for quantum
science applications such as precision measurement and information processing …

In this paper, we present a systematic approach to building useful time-dependent effective
Hamiltonians in molecular quantum electrodynamics. The method is based on considering …

We consider two rubidium atoms, prepared in the same S or P Rydberg states, near an
optical nanofibre, and we determine their van der Waals interaction potential as a function of …

We discuss several recent advances related to optical nanofibres in cold atom systems,
including two-colour dipole trap optimisation using an in-loop stochastic artificial neural …
