Realization of a Cavity-Coupled Rydberg Array
feeds.aps.org · By Jacopo De Santis, Balázs Dura-Kovács, Mehmet Öncü, Adrien Bouscal, Dimitrios Vasileiadis & Johannes Zeiher ·
The Brief
- Individual atoms trapped in a tweezer array were coupled to a high-cooperativity optical cavity.
- The atoms were coherently excited to Rydberg states while coupled to the cavity.
- The source describes the work as combining efficient light-matter interaction with Rydberg-atom control; no further quantitative results are given in the excerpt.
Why it matters
Coupling Rydberg atom arrays to high-cooperativity cavities is a platform technique for quantum simulation and quantum information with neutral atoms, linking atom-array control with efficient light-matter interaction.
