Heteronuclear Rydberg molecules
J. D. Whalen, S. K. Kanungo, Y. Lu +4
We report the creation of heteronuclear ultralong-range Rydberg-molecule dimers by excitation of minority atoms to Rydberg states () in a de…

Probing Nonlocal Spatial Correlations in Quantum Gases with Ultra-long-range Rydberg Molecules
J. D. Whalen, S. K. Kanungo, R. Ding +7
We present photo-excitation of ultra-long-range Rydberg molecules as a probe of spatial correlations in quantum gases. Rydberg molecules can be created with well-defined internucle…
