An electron microscope for the detection and manipulation of Rydberg atoms — •Thomas Niederprüm, Tobias Massimo Weber, Torsten Manthey, Philipp Langer, Vera Guarrera, Giovanni Barontini, and Herwig Ott — TU Kaiserslautern, Germany

In order to control the interactions between ultracold atoms the usage of the strong dipole-dipole coupling between highly excited Rydberg states is very promising. Especially the dressing of Rydberg states can give rise to exotic quantum phases and other phenomena predicted by the Bose-Hubbard-Model. In this poster, we will present a new apparatus for the production, the manipulation and the detection of ultracold Rydberg atoms. A scanning electron microscope inside the vacuum chamber will allow for single Rydberg atom detection with a high spatial resolution.
