For hybrid quamtum experiments we use frequency tunable dye lasers to create atoms over a wide range of highly excited Rydberg states. (Image: Heidi Hostettler, ETH Zurich)
We frequency double visible laser light to obtain coherent radiation in the ultraviolet regime to excite Rydberg helium atoms. (Image: Heidi Hostettler, ETH Zurich)
A cold RF plasma discharge creates helium atoms in the metastable triplet state to lock a fiber laser onto its cycling transition. (Image: Heidi Hostettler, ETH Zurich)

Description

At the Quantum Device Lab we explore hybrid quantum systems in which we use Rydberg atoms either as surface probes for DC and AC electric fields or interface them with on-chip microwave photons.
