Direct laser cooling of Rydberg atoms with an isolated-core transition
A Bouillon, E Marin-Bujedo, M Génévriez - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We propose a scheme to directly laser cool Rydberg atoms by laser cooling the residual ion
core within the Rydberg-electron orbit. The scheme is detailed for alkaline-earth-metal …
