Newton's cradle and entanglement transport in a flexible Rydberg chain
arXiv:1004.4577 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.053004
Abstract
In a regular, flexible chain of Rydberg atoms, a single electronic excitation localizes on two atoms that are in closer mutual proximity than all others. We show how the interplay between excitonic and atomic motion causes electronic excitation and diatomic proximity to propagate through the Rydberg chain as a combined pulse. In this manner entanglement is transferred adiabatically along the chain, reminiscent of momentum transfer in Newton's cradle.
