ATLANTA, June 19, 2013 — A state-insensitive optical trap could prove promising for the development of quantum networking, researchers in Georgia have found. Using clouds of ultracold atoms and a pair of lasers operating at optical wavelengths, Georgia Institute of Technology investigators entangled light with an optical atomic coherence composed of interacting rubidium atoms in two states — ground and highly excited (Rydberg). The large size of the Rydberg atoms — which have a radius of about 1 µm compared with typical subnanometer-sized ones — gives them exaggerated electromagnetic...Read full article
