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…
Evidence for coherent collective Rydberg excitation in the strong blockade regime
Rolf Heidemann, Ulrich Raitzsch, Vera Bendkowsky +4
Blockade effects on the single quantum level are at the heart of quantum devices like single-electron transistors. The blockade mechanisms are based on strong interactions like the…
