Description:
Author(s): Turker Topcu and Andrei Derevianko Motivated by compelling advances in manipulating cold Rydberg (Ry) atoms in optical traps, we consider the effect of the large extent of a Ry electron wave function on trapping potentials. We find that, when the Ry orbit lies outside inflection points in the laser intensity landscape, the atom can s... [Phys. Rev. A 88, 043407] Published Mon Oct 07, 2013
