An experimental and theoretical guide to strongly interacting Rydberg gases

Robert Löw, Hendrik Weimer, Johannes Nipper +4

We review experimental and theoretical tools to excite, study and understand strongly interacting Rydberg gases. The focus lies on the excitation of dense ultracold atomic samples…

Highly resolved measurements of Stark-tuned Förster resonances between Rydberg atoms

J. Nipper, J. B. Balewski, A. T. Krupp +3

We report on experiments exploring Stark-tuned Förster resonances between Rydberg atoms with unprecedented resolution in the Förster defect. The individual resonances are expected…

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…

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…
