论文摘要
我们考虑两个在光学纳米纤维附近的S或P Rydberg状态下制备的Rubidium原子。我们确定它们之间的范德华相互作用并识别新的特征,包括对相互作用各向异性的重塑以及P状态附近纳米纤维附近的相互作用电位的形成。我们将这些现象归因于由于纤维的存在而导致旋转对称性的破裂。我们的工作构成了评估Rydberg原子 - 纳米纤维量子界面和设备的重要一步。
We consider two rubidium atoms, prepared in the same S or P Rydberg states near an optical nanofibre. We determine the van der Waals interaction between them and identify novel features, including the reshaping of the interaction anisotropy and the formation of an interaction potential well near the nanofibre for P states. We attribute these phenomena to the breaking of the rotation symmetry around the interatomic axis due to the presence of the fibre. Our work constitutes an important step in the assessment of Rydberg atom-nanofibre quantum interfaces and devices.
