Anomalous excitation facilitation in inhomogeneously broadened Rydberg gases
Fabian Letscher, Oliver Thomas, Thomas Niederprüm +2
When atomic gases are laser driven to Rydberg states in an off resonant way, a single Rydberg atom may enhance the excitation rate of surrounding atoms. This leads to a facilitated…
Bistability vs. Metastability in Driven Dissipative Rydberg Gases
Fabian Letscher, Oliver Thomas, Thomas Niederprüm +2
We investigate the possibility of a bistable phase in an open many-body system. To this end we discuss the microscopic dynamics of a continuously off-resonantly driven Rydberg latt…
Rydberg molecule-induced remote spin-flips
Thomas Niederprüm, Oliver Thomas, Tanita Eichert +1
We have performed high resolution photoassociation spectroscopy of rubidium ultra long-range Rydberg molecules in the vicinity of the 25 state. Due to the hyperfine interaction…
Observation of pendular butterfly Rydberg molecules
Thomas Niederprüm, Oliver Thomas, Tanita Eichert +4
Obtaining full control over the internal and external quantum states of molecules is the central goal of ultracold chemistry and allows for the study of coherent molecular dynamics…
