Population coherent control of Rydberg sodium atom in microwave field

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/7/073101

Abstract The B-spline expansion technique and the time-dependent multilevel approach (TDMA) are used to study the interaction between microwave field and sodium atoms. The Rydberg sodium atom energy levels of p states in zero field are calculated, and the results are in good agreement with the other theoretical ones. The time evolutions during the population transfers of the five states from n=75 to n=79 in different microwave fields are obtained. The results show that the coherent control of the population transfer from the lower states to the higher ones can be accomplished by optimizing the microwave pulse parameters.

Keywords: B-spline population transfer multilevel system
