Rydberg state engineering of trapped ions
Robin Thomm, Vinay Shankar, Natalia Kuk +3
Microwave dressing of Rydberg ions creates tunable eigenstates with controllable polarizability and interaction strength, but coherent navigation between these states has remained…

Probing electronic state-dependent conformational changes in a trapped Rydberg ion Wigner crystal
Marion Mallweger, Natalia Kuk, Vinay Shankar +6
State-dependent conformational changes play a central role in molecular dynamics, yet they are often difficult to observe or simulate due to their complexity and ultrafast nature.…
