Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap (2018)
Journal Article
Bounds, A. D., Jackson, N. C., Hanley, R. K., Faoro, R., Bridge, E. M., Huillery, P., & Jones, M. P. A. (2018). Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap. Physical Review Letters, 120(18), Article 183401. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.120.183401

We propose and demonstrate the laser cooling and trapping of Rydberg-dressed Sr atoms. By offresonantly coupling the excited state of a narrow (7 kHz) cooling transition to a high-lying Rydberg state, we transfer Rydberg properties such as enhanced e...

Rydberg electrometry for optical lattice clocks (2017)
Journal Article
Bowden, W., Hobson, R., Huillery, P., Gill, P., Jones, M., & Hill, I. (2017). Rydberg electrometry for optical lattice clocks. Physical Review A, 96(2), Article 023419. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.96.023419

Electrometry is performed using Rydberg states to evaluate the quadratic Stark shift of the 5s2 1 S0-5s5p 3 P0 clock transition in strontium. By measuring the Stark shift of the highly excited 5s75d 1 D2 state using electromagnetically induced transp... Read More about Rydberg electrometry for optical lattice clocks.
