Abstract: The authors present an experimental and theoretical study of how the geometry of an optical trap influences the magic wavelength for a collective Rydberg excitation, and find the magic trap wavelength where the coherence time in photon storage experiments is maximized. This magic wavelength depends not only on the Rydberg state, but also on the trap geometry due to the wave function of the almost-free Rydberg electron exploring the potential landscape surrounding the core. Hence, it is necessary to take the size of both Rydberg atom and trapping beams into account when trapping Rydberg atoms.
