In this reference we present many of the physical and optical properties of 85Rb that are
relevant to various quantum optics experiments. In particular, we give parameters that are …

Atomic polarization phenomena impinge upon a number of areas and processes in physics.
The dielectric constant and refractive index of any gas are examples of macroscopic …

We present an object-oriented Python library for the computation of properties of highly-
excited Rydberg states of alkali atoms. These include single-body effects such as dipole …

Systematic study of Rb atomic properties is carried out using a high-precision relativistic all-
order method. Excitation energies of the ns, np, nd, and nf (n⩽ 10) states in neutral rubidium …

The development of optical nanofibers (ONFs) and the study and control of their optical
properties when coupling atoms to their electromagnetic modes has opened new …

Rydberg atoms are remarkable tools for quantum simulation and computation. They are the
focus of an intense experimental activity, mainly based on low-angular-momentum Rydberg …

We report the measurement of the anisotropic ac polarizability of ultracold polar K 40 Rb 87
molecules in the ground and first rotationally excited states. Theoretical analysis of the …

Extensive calculations of the electric-dipole matrix elements in alkali-metal atoms are
conducted using the relativistic all-order method. This approach is a linearized version of the …

Using first-principles calculations, we identify “tune-out” optical wavelengths, λ zero, for
which the ground-state frequency-dependent polarizabilities of alkali-metal atoms vanish …

We report measurements of the lifetimes of the 3 d D 5∕ 2 2 and 3 d D 3∕ 2 2 metastable
states of a single laser-cooled Ca+ 40 ion in a linear Paul trap. We introduce a measurement …
