Ericson fluctuations in an open, deterministic quantum system: theory meets experiment

Abstract

We provide numerically exact photoexcitation cross sections of rubidium Rydberg states in crossed, static electric and magnetic fields, in quantitative agreement with recent experimental results. Their spectral backbone underpins a clear transition towards the Ericson regime.
