Synthetic dimension-induced conical intersections in Rydberg molecules

Frederic Hummel, Matthew T. Eiles, Peter Schmelcher

We observe a series of conical intersections in the potential energy curves governing both the collision between a Rydberg atom and a ground-state atom and the structure of Rydberg…

Electric field-induced wave-packet dynamics and geometrical rearrangement of trilobite Rydberg molecules

Frederic Hummel, Kevin Keiler, Peter Schmelcher

We investigate the quantum dynamics of ultra-long-range trilobite molecules exposed to homogeneous electric fields. A trilobite molecule consists of a Rydberg atom and a ground-sta…

An ultracold heavy Rydberg system formed from ultra-long-range molecules bound in a stairwell potential

Frederic Hummel, Peter Schmelcher, Herwig Ott +1

We propose a scheme to realize a heavy Rydberg system (HRS), a bound pair of oppositely charged ions, from a gas of ultracold atoms. The intermediate step to achieve large internuc…

Triatomic butterfly molecules

Matthew T. Eiles, Christian Fey, Frederic Hummel +1

We detail the rich electronic and vibrational structure of triatomic "butterfly" molecules, ultra-long-range Rydberg molecules bound by resonant -wave scattering. We divide thes…

Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules

Christian Fey, Frederic Hummel, Peter Schmelcher

We review ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRM), which are bound states between a Rydberg atom and one or more ground-state atoms with bond lengths on the order of thousands of…

Precision spectroscopy of negative-ion resonances in ultralong-range Rydberg molecules

Felix Engel, Thomas Dieterle, Frederic Hummel +5

The level structure of negative-ions near the electron detachment limit dictates the low-energy scattering of an electron with the parent neutral atom. We demonstrate that a single…
