Simulating neural network criticality and resource dynamics with Rydberg gases

Patrick Mischke, Herwig Ott, Michael Fleischhauer +1

Efficient operation of neural networks has been linked to criticality in their underlying non-equilibrium excitation dynamics. However, obtaining experimental evidence of this conj…

Fast and robust detection of single Rydberg excitations in mesoscopic ensembles

Sven Schmidt, Aaron Thielmann, Thomas Niederprüm +1

We propose a novel non-destructive method for the detection of single Rydberg excitations in a mesoscopic ensemble. The protocol achieves high fidelities on a microsecond timescale…

Nonequilibrium Universality of Rydberg-Excitation Spreading on a Dynamic Network

Simon Ohler, Daniel Brady, Patrick Mischke +6

Understanding the universal properties of non-equilibrium phase transitions of spreading processes is a challenging problem. This applies in particular to irregular and dynamically…

Competing Interactions in Strongly Driven Multi-Level Systems

Jana Bender, Patrick Mischke, Tanita Klas +4

We experimentally study the level mixing, splitting and repulsion of an optically driven atomic multi-level system under two competing interactions. The strength of the optical cou…

All-optical measurement of magnetic fields for quantum gas experiments

Suthep Pomjaksilp, Sven Schmidt, Aaron Thielmann +2

We present an all-optical method to measure and compensate for residual magnetic fields present in a cloud of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical dipole trap. Our approach levera…

Dynamically Probing Ultracold Lattice Gases via Rydberg Molecules

Torsten Manthey, Thomas Niederprüm, Oliver Thomas +1

We show that the excitation of long-range Rydberg molecules in a three-dimensional optical lattice can be used as a position- and time-sensitive probe of the site occupancy in the…
