▲ [16a-421-2] Cold Rydberg Atoms near an Optical Nanofibre
Keywords:Rydberg states, Optical Nanofibre
We discuss recent experimental progress towards realising a quantum network based on Rydberg atoms trapped around an optical nanofibre. Initial tests are designed to demonstrate the formation of Rydberg atoms next to the dielectric surface.
