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…
Giant cross section for molecular ion formation in ultracold Rydberg gases
Thomas Niederprüm, Oliver Thomas, Torsten Manthey +2
We have studied the associative ionization of a Rydberg atom and a ground state atom in an ultracold Rydberg gas. The measured scattering cross section is three orders of magnitude…
Mesoscopic Rydberg-blockaded ensembles in the superatom regime and beyond
T. M. Weber, M. Höning, T. Niederprüm +6
Controlling strongly interacting many-body systems enables the creation of tailored quantum matter, with properties transcending those based solely on single particle physics. Atom…
Scanning electron microscopy of Rydberg-excited Bose-Einstein condensates
T. Manthey, T. M. Weber, T. Niederprüm +4
We report on the realization of high resolution electron microscopy of Rydberg-excited ultracold atomic samples. The implementation of an ultraviolet laser system allows us to exci…
Continuous Coupling of Ultracold Atoms to an Ionic Plasma via Rydberg Excitation
T. M. Weber, T. Niederprüm, T. Manthey +4
We characterize the two-photon excitation of an ultracold gas of Rubidium atoms to Rydberg states analysing the induced atomic losses from an optical dipole trap. Extending the dur…
