Roton-Induced Trapping in Strongly Correlated Rydberg Gases
João D. Rodrigues, Luís F. Gonçalves, Hugo Terças +2
Atoms excited into high-lying Rydberg states and under strong dipole-dipole interactions exhibit phenomena associated with highly correlated and complex systems. We perform first p…
Emergence of Spatial Order in Highly Interacting Rydberg Gases
João D. Rodrigues, Hugo Terças, Luis F. Gonçalves +2
We describe the emergence of strong spatial correlations, akin to liquid-like behavior and crystallization effects, in low (one and two) dimensional gases of cold Rydberg atoms. Th…
Excitation of high orbital angular momentum Rydberg states with Laguerre-Gauss beams
J. D. Rodrigues, L. G. Marcassa, J. T. Mendonça
We consider the excitation of Rydberg states through photons carrying an intrinsic orbital angular momentum degree of freedom. Laguerre-Gauss modes, with a helical wave-front struc…
