Thermalization within a Stark manifold through Rydberg atom interactions
Sarah E. Spielman, Sage M. Thomas, Maja Teofilovska +8
We use dynamical quantum typicality to predict the thermal equilibrium state of ultracold Rydberg atoms exchanging energy via long-range dipole-dipole interactions. We excite atoms…

Energy Transport Among Highly-Polarized Atoms
Catherine D. Opsahl, Yuan Jiang, Samantha A. Grubb +7
We measure the transport of energy among the internal states of ultracold rubidium Rydberg atoms coupled by dipole-dipole exchange. In a magneto-optical trap, a static electric fie…
