Electronically excited cold ion crystals
Weibin Li, Igor Lesanovsky
The laser excitation of an ion crystal to high lying and long-lived electronic states is a genuine many-body process even if in fact only a single ion is excited. This is a direct…
Rydberg excitation of trapped cold ions: A detailed case study
F. Schmidt-Kaler, T. Feldker, D. Kolbe +5
We provide a detailed theoretical and conceptual study of a planned experiment to excite Rydberg states of ions trapped in a Paul trap. The ultimate goal is to exploit the strong s…
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…
