Photoassociation of rovibrational Rydberg molecules
O. Thomas, C. Lippe, T. Eichert +1
In this work we discuss the rotational structure of Rydberg molecules. We calculate the complete wave function in a laboratory fixed frame and derive the transition matrix elements…

Experimental realization of a Rydberg optical Feshbach resonance in a quantum many-body system
Oliver Thomas, Carsten Lippe, Tanita Eichert +1
Feshbach resonances in ultra-cold atomic gases have led to some of the most important advances in atomic physics. They did not only enable ground breaking work in the BEC-BCS cross…

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…
