Electron lattice potentials for ultracold atoms using circular Rydberg orbitals

Aileen A. T. Durst, Einius Pultinevicius, Homar Rivera-Rodríguez +3

Recent advances in experiments using individually trapped atoms have enabled precise control over circular Rydberg electrons with exceptionally long lifetimes. We show that these g…

Predissociation dynamics of charged long-range Rydberg molecules

Neethu Abraham, P. Giannakeas, Matthew T. Eiles

We investigate predissociation in homonuclear (RbRb) and heteronuclear (RbLi) long-range Rydberg atom-ion molecules. Owing to their micro…

Observation of -symmetry ultralong-range Rydberg molecules

Matthew T. Eiles, Aleksandr Zaitsev, Dominik Dorer +5

We observe weakly-bound -symmetry electronic states in the spectroscopy of Rb+Rb() ultralong-range Rydberg molecules. We detect these molecul…

Universal response of Rydberg manifolds to standing light waves from the microwave to the X-ray regime

Homar Rivera-Rodríguez, Matthew T. Eiles, Jan M. Rost

Standing light waves structure the electronic density of a Rydberg atom in a rich but surprisingly systematic fashion. We uncover these systematics, which are nearly universal acro…

Microscopic Rydberg electron orbit manipulation with optical tweezers

Homar Rivera-Rodríguez, Matthew T. Eiles, Tilman Pfau +1

Laser cooling and trapping of atomic matter waves in optical potentials has enabled rapid progress in quantum science, particularly when combined with Rydberg excitation of the ato…

Revealing electron-ytterbium interactions through Rydberg molecular spectroscopy

Tangi Legrand, Xin Wang, Milena Simić +5

Divalent atoms have emerged as powerful alternatives to alkalis in ultracold atom platforms, offering unique advantages arising from their two-electron structure. Among these speci…
