| contents | Magic trapping of ground and Rydberg states, which equalizes the AC Stark shifts of these two levels, enables increased ground-to-Rydberg state coherence times. We measure via photon storage and retrieval how the ground-to-Rydberg state coherence depends on trap wavelength for two different traps and find different optimal wavelengths for a one-dimensional optical lattice trap and a running wave optical dipole trap. Comparison to theory reveals that this is caused by the Rydberg electron sampling different potential landscapes. The observed difference increases for higher principal quantum numbers, where the extent of the Rydberg electron wave function becomes larger than the optical lattice period. Our analysis shows that optimal magic trapping conditions depend on the trap geometry, in particular for optical lattices and tweezers. |
