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…
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…
On the possibility of "correlation cooling" of ultracold neutral plasmas
T. Pohl, T. Pattard, J. M. Rost
Recent experiments with ultracold neutral plasmas show an intrinsic heating effect based on the development of spatial correlations. We investigate whether this effect can be rever…
Plasma formation from ultracold Rydberg gases
T. Pohl, T. Pattard, J. M. Rost
Recent experiments have demonstrated the spontaneous evolution of a gas of ultracold Rydberg atoms into an expanding ultracold plasma, as well as the reverse process of plasma reco…
