Quantum Simulation of Frustrated Magnets by Rydberg Dressing (W911NF-12 R 0012 03, 6.3: Atomic and Molecular Physics)
Abstract
The broad goal of the project is to develop a versatile toolbox for quantum simulation of two-dimensional lattice spin models with ultracold atoms. To date, the most elusive element of such a toolbox has been a means of engineering coherent and tunable long range interactions. We aim to fill this gap by building upon recent advances in coherent manipulation of Rydberg states - highly excited electronic states featuring long-range dipole-dipole and van der Waals interactions. In particular, we will harness the method of Rydberg dressing, introducing long-range interactions among ground-state atoms pinned in an optical lattice by off-resonantly coupling the atoms to Rydberg states.
