Many-body theory of excitation dynamics in an ultracold Rydberg gas
Cenap Ates, Thomas Pohl, Thomas Pattard +1
We develop a theoretical approach for the dynamics of Rydberg excitations in ultracold gases, with a realistically large number of atoms. We rely on the reduction of the single-ato…
Antiblockade in Rydberg excitation of an ultracold lattice gas
Cenap Ates, Thomas Pohl, Thomas Pattard +1
It is shown that the two-step excitation scheme typically used to create an ultracold Rydberg gas can be described with an effective two-level rate equation, greatly reducing the c…
Strong-coupling effects in the relaxation dynamics of ultracold neutral plasmas
T. Pohl, T. Pattard
We describe a hybrid molecular dynamics approach for the description of ultracold neutral plasmas, based on an adiabatic treatment of the electron gas and a full molecular dynamics…
Relaxation to non-equilibrium in expanding ultracold neutral plasmas
T. Pohl, T. Pattard, J. M. Rost
We investigate the strongly correlated ion dynamics and the degree of coupling achievable in the evolution of freely expanding ultracold neutral plasmas. We demonstrate that the io…
Influence of electron-ion collisions on Coulomb crystallization of ultracold neutral plasmas
T. Pohl, T. Pattard, J. M. Rost
While ion heating by elastic electron-ion collisions may be neglected for a description of the evolution of freely expanding ultracold neutral plasmas, the situation is different i…
Kinetic modelling and molecular dynamics simulation of ultracold neutral plasmas including ionic correlations
T. Pohl, T. Pattard, J. M. Rost
A kinetic approach for the evolution of ultracold neutral plasmas including interionic correlations and the treatment of ionization/excitation and recombination/deexcitation by rat…
