Anisotropic Interactions in Electric Field Polarized Ultracold Rydberg Gases

Akbar Jahangiri, James P. Shaffer, Luís Felipe Gonçalves +1

We calculate pair potential curves for interacting Rydberg atoms in a constant electric field and use them to determine the effective $C_3$ dipole-dipole and $C_6$ van der Waals co…
