Atom Surface Interactions and Hybrid Quantum Systems for Quantum Engineering Applications

Abstract

The goals are: (1) to understand how Rydberg excitations can be interfaced to polaritronics and how Rydberg atom interactions can be used to synthesize quantum states of atoms coupled to an optical cavity; and (2) to produce collective states in the cavity to study low excitation number superradiance and lasing, where Rydberg atom blockade is used to eliminate pump and atom number fluctuations.
