Ultrafast creation of overlapping Rydberg electrons in an atomic BEC and Mott-insulator lattice
Michiteru Mizoguchi, Yichi Zhang, Masaya Kunimi +13
An array of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice (Mott insulator) excited to a state where single electron wave-functions spatially overlap would represent a new and ideal platfor…
De-excitation spectroscopy of strongly interacting Rydberg gases
C. Simonelli, M. Archimi, L. Asteria +5
We present experimental results on the controlled de-excitation of Rydberg states in a cold gas of Rb atoms. The effect of the van der Waals interactions between the Rydberg atoms…
A new setup for experiments with ultracold Dysprosium atoms
E. Lucioni, G. Masella, A. Fregosi +7
In the domain of quantum degenerate atomic gases, much interest has been raised recently by the use of Lanthanide atoms with large magnetic moments, in particular Dysprosium and Er…
Seeded excitation avalanches in off-resonantly driven Rydberg gases
Cristiano Simonelli, Maria Martinez Valado, Guido Masella +4
We report an experimental investigation of the facilitated excitation dynamics in off-resonantly driven Rydberg gases by separating the initial off-resonant excitation phase from t…
Van der Waals explosion of cold Rydberg clusters
R. Faoro, C. Simonelli, M. Archimi +6
We report on the direct measurement in real space of the effect of the van der Waals forces between individual Rydberg atoms on their external degrees of freedom. Clusters of Rydbe…
