From single to many atoms in a microscopic optical dipole trap
This thesis focuses on the manipulation of rubidium 87 atoms in a microscopic optical dipole trap. The experiments are performed in various regimes where the number of... -
Measurement of the van der Waals interaction between two Rydberg atoms
Neutral atoms are promising candidates for the realization of entangled states involving up to a few tens of particles. To generate such states, one approach consists...
