Chiral Rydberg States of Laser Cooled Atoms — •Stefan Aull1, Steffen Giesen2, Markus Debatin1, Peter Zahariev1,3, Robert Berger2, and Kilian Singer11Institut für Physik, Universität Kassel, Heinrich-Plett-Str. 40, 34132 Kassel — 2Fb. 15 - Chemie, Hans-Meerwein-Straße 4, 35032 Marburg — 3Institute of Solid State Physics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 72, Tzarigradsko Chaussee, 1784 Sofia, Bulgaria

We propose a protocol for the preparation of chiral Rydberg states. It has been shown theoretically that using a suitable superposition of hydrogen wavefunctions, it is possible to construct an electron density and probability current distribution that has chiral nature. Following a well established procedure for circular Rydberg state generation and subsequent manipulation with taylored radio frequency pulses under the influence of a magnetic field, the necessary superposition with correspondingly set phases can be prepared. Enantio-selective excitation using photo-ionization circular dichroism is under theoretical and experimental development.
