Quantum simulation of complex many-body systems employing Rydberg atoms in optical tweezers has developed into a vivid field of research recently.

In our project we work towards the realization of a flexible optical tweezer-based Rydberg quantum processor employing alkaline-earth like Yb atoms (AEA).

We want to take advantage of the possibilities AEA offer over the widely used alkali atom-based Rydberg tweezer experiments like an optical clock transition for more sophisticated qu-bit realizations and the option of triple magic optical trapping to significantly enhance Rydberg coherence times.

Your tasks will include e.g.

implementation and characterization of different cooling methods for individual Yb atoms in optical tweezers, study and characterization of fast and coherent single-photon Rydberg excitation from the metastable 3p manifold and implementation and characterization of Rydberg blockade fidelity for a variety of Yb Rydberg series.

Profile:

A university degree in a relevant field.
