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 realize a scanning probe microscope using single trapped Rb 87 atoms to measure
optical fields with subwavelength spatial resolution. Our microscope operates by detecting …

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 …

Using first-principles calculations, we identify magic wavelengths λ magic for the 2 s-2 p and
2 s-3 p transitions in lithium. The ns and np atomic levels have the same ac Stark shifts at the …

Magic wavelengths, for which there is no differential ac Stark shift for the ground and excited
state of the atom, allow trapping of excited Rydberg atoms without broadening the optical …

We carry out a systematic study of the static and dynamic polarizabilities of the potassium
atom using a first-principles high-precision relativistic all-order method in which all single …

We present an optical approach to compensating for spatially varying ac-Stark shifts that
appear on atomic ensembles subject to strong optical control or trapping fields. The …

We demonstrate magic wavelengths, at which an external electric field produces null
differential Stark shifts, for the $6 s {}^{2}{S} _ {1/2}-6p {}^{2}{P} _ {1/\mathrm {2, 3}/2} …

Derivations for the higher tensor components of the quadrupole polarizabilities are given
and their values for the metastable states of the Ca+, Sr+, and Ba+ alkaline-earth-metal ions …

Magic wavelength optical-dipole trap (ODT) allows confinement of neutral atoms and
cancellation of the position-dependent spatially inhomogeneous differential light shift for a …
