Abstract
Neutral Rydberg atoms, or atoms in highly excited states, have many properties that are useful when studying quantum information or building quantum devices. Our lab has recently studied entangled states of three Rydberg atoms, which might find applications to qutrits or three-quibit gates. The strong coherence of these entangled states is the key to their usefulness. I am investigating the properties of these states, specifically their coherence time, to see how we might control and prolong it.
