Lifetimes of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules in vibrational ground and excited state
Björn Butscher, Vera Bendkowsky, Johannes Nipper +7
Since their first experimental observation, ultralong-range Rydberg molecules consisting of a highly excited Rydberg atom and a ground state atom have attracted the interest in the…
Rydberg trimers and excited dimers bound by internal quantum reflection
V. Bendkowsky, B. Butscher, J. Nipper +8
Quantum reflection is a pure wave phenomena that predicts reflection of a particle at a changing potential for cases where complete transmission occurs classically. For a chemical…
Universal scaling in a strongly interacting Rydberg gas
Robert Löw, Hendrik Weimer, Ulrich Krohn +5
We study a gas of ultracold atoms resonantly driven into a strongly interacting Rydberg state. The long distance behavior of the spatially frozen effective pseudospin system is det…
Investigation of dephasing rates in an interacting Rydberg gas
U. Raitzsch, R. Heidemann, H. Weimer +6
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the dephasing rates of the coherent evolution of a resonantly driven pseudo spin emersed in a reservoir of pseudo spins. The pseudo…
Novel binding mechanism for ultra-long range molecules
V. Bendkowsky, B. Butscher, J. Nipper +3
Molecular bonds can be divided into four primary types: ionic, covalent, van der Waals and hydrogen bonds. At ultralow temperatures a novel binding type emerges paving the way for…
Rydberg excitation of Bose-Einstein condensates
Rolf Heidemann, Ulrich Raitzsch, Vera Bendkowsky +3
Rydberg atoms provide a wide range of possibilities to tailor interactions in a quantum gas. Here we report on Rydberg excitation of Bose-Einstein condensed 87Rb atoms. The Rydberg…
