A quantum state of matter (2013)
Journal Article
Jones, M. (2013). A quantum state of matter

AS THEORETICAL AND experimental physicists probe deeper into the quantum nature of reality, technological advances made in recent years have allowed for a consistent narrowing of the gap between the two approaches. The development and refinement of l... Read More about A quantum state of matter.

Number-resolved imaging of excited-state atoms using a scanning autoionization microscope (2013)
Journal Article
Lochead, G., Boddy, D., Sadler, D., Adams, C., & Jones, M. (2013). Number-resolved imaging of excited-state atoms using a scanning autoionization microscope. Physical Review A, 87(5), Article 053409. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.87.053409

We report on a scanning microscopy technique for atom-number-resolved imaging of excited-state atoms. A tightly focused laser beam leads to local autoionization and the resulting ions are counted electronically. Scanning the beam across the cloud bui...

Storage and Control of Optical Photons Using Rydberg Polaritons (2013)
Journal Article
Maxwell, D., Szwer, D., Paredes-Barato, D., Busche, H., Pritchard, J., Gauguet, A., …Adams, C. (2013). Storage and Control of Optical Photons Using Rydberg Polaritons. Physical Review Letters, 110(10), Article 103001. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.110.103001

We use a microwave field to control the quantum state of optical photons stored in a cold atomic cloud. The photons are stored in highly excited collective states (Rydberg polaritons) enabling both fast qubit rotations and control of photon-photon in...
