Measuring nonlocal three-body spatial correlations with Rydberg trimers in ultracold quantum gases
S. K. Kanungo, Y. Lu, F. B. Dunning +3
We measure nonlocal third-order spatial correlations in non-degenerate ultracold gases of bosonic (Sr) and spin-polarized fermionic (Sr) strontium through studies of…
Realizing Su-Schrieffer-Heeger topological edge states in Rydberg-atom synthetic dimensions
S. K. Kanungo, J. D. Whalen, Y. Lu +5
We demonstrate a platform for synthetic dimensions based on coupled Rydberg levels in ultracold atoms, and we implement the single-particle Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) Hamiltonian.…
Loss rates for high-, , 5sns(S) Rydberg atoms excited in an Sr Bose-Einstein condensate
S. K. Kanungo, J. D. Whalen, Y. Lu +4
Measurements of the loss rates for strontium nS Rydberg atoms excited in a dense BEC are presented for values of principal quantum number in the range $49\lesssim n…
Creation of vibrationally-excited ultralong-range Rydberg molecules in polarized and unpolarized cold gases of Sr
R. Ding, S. K. Kanungo, J. D. Whalen +4
Photoexcitation rates for creation of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRM) with 31 in both ground and excited vibrational levels in cold (~nK)…

Theory of excitation of Rydberg polarons in an atomic quantum gas
R. Schmidt, J. D. Whalen, R. Ding +8
We present a quantum many-body description of the excitation spectrum of Rydberg polarons in a Bose gas. The many-body Hamiltonian is solved with functional determinant theory, and…
Lifetimes of ultralong-range strontium Rydberg molecules in a dense BEC
J. D. Whalen, F. Camargo, R. Ding +5
The lifetimes and decay channels of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules created in a dense BEC are examined by monitoring the time evolution of the Rydberg population using field ion…
Creation of Rydberg Polarons in a Bose Gas
F. Camargo, R. Schmidt, J. D. Whalen +8
We report spectroscopic observation of Rydberg polarons in an atomic Bose gas. Polarons are created by excitation of Rydberg atoms as impurities in a strontium Bose-Einstein conden…

The lifetimes of the lower-lying vibrational states of ultralong-range strontium Rydberg molecules comprising one ground-state 5s2 1S0 atom and one Rydberg atom in the 5s38s 3S1 st…
Resonant Rydberg Dressing of Alkaline-Earth Atoms via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
C. Gaul, B. J. DeSalvo, J. A. Aman +3
We develop an approach to generate finite-range atomic interactions via optical Rydberg-state excitation and study the underlying excitation dynamics in theory and experiment. In c…
