Universal response of Rydberg manifolds to standing light waves from the microwave to the X-ray regime
Homar Rivera-Rodríguez, Matthew T. Eiles, Jan M. Rost
Standing light waves structure the electronic density of a Rydberg atom in a rich but surprisingly systematic fashion. We uncover these systematics, which are nearly universal acro…

Microscopic Rydberg electron orbit manipulation with optical tweezers
Homar Rivera-Rodríguez, Matthew T. Eiles, Tilman Pfau +1
Laser cooling and trapping of atomic matter waves in optical potentials has enabled rapid progress in quantum science, particularly when combined with Rydberg excitation of the ato…

Approximate symmetries of long-range Rydberg molecules including spin effects
H. Rivera-Rodríguez, R. Jáuregui
An operator that generates an approximate symmetry of long-range Rydberg molecules (LRRMs) formed by two alkali atoms, one in a Rydberg state and the other in the ground state, is…
