Many-body theory of excitation dynamics in an ultracold Rydberg gas
Cenap Ates, Thomas Pohl, Thomas Pattard +1
We develop a theoretical approach for the dynamics of Rydberg excitations in ultracold gases, with a realistically large number of atoms. We rely on the reduction of the single-ato…
Experimental Realization of an Exact Solution to the Vlasov Equations for an Expanding Plasma
S. Laha, P. Gupta, C. E. Simien +4
We study the expansion of ultracold neutral plasmas in the regime in which inelastic collisions are negligible. The plasma expands due to the thermal pressure of the electrons, and…
Self-driven nonlinear dynamics in magneto-optical traps
T. Pohl, G. Labeyrie, R. Kaiser
We present a theoretical model describing recently observed collective effects in large magneto-optically trapped atomic ensembles. Based on a kinetic description we develop an eff…
Strong-coupling effects in the relaxation dynamics of ultracold neutral plasmas
T. Pohl, T. Pattard
We describe a hybrid molecular dynamics approach for the description of ultracold neutral plasmas, based on an adiabatic treatment of the electron gas and a full molecular dynamics…
Relaxation to non-equilibrium in expanding ultracold neutral plasmas
T. Pohl, T. Pattard, J. M. Rost
We investigate the strongly correlated ion dynamics and the degree of coupling achievable in the evolution of freely expanding ultracold neutral plasmas. We demonstrate that the io…
Influence of electron-ion collisions on Coulomb crystallization of ultracold neutral plasmas
T. Pohl, T. Pattard, J. M. Rost
While ion heating by elastic electron-ion collisions may be neglected for a description of the evolution of freely expanding ultracold neutral plasmas, the situation is different i…
