Interplay between van der Waals and dipole-dipole interactions among Rydberg atoms
Julius de Hond, Nataly Cisternas, R. J. C. Spreeuw +2
Coherently manipulating Rydberg atoms in mesoscopic systems has proven challenging due to the unwanted population of nearby Rydberg levels by black-body radiation. Recently, there…

From coherent collective excitation to Rydberg blockade on an atom chip
Julius de Hond, Rick van Bijnen, S. J. J. M. F. Kokkelmans +3
Using time-resolved measurements, we demonstrate coherent collective Rydberg excitation crossing over into Rydberg blockade in a dense and ultracold gas trapped at a distance of 10…
