Quantum-classical lifetimes of Rydberg molecules
Andrej Junginger, Jörg Main, Günter Wunner
A remarkable property of Rydberg atoms is the possibility to create molecules formed by one highly excited atom and another atom in the ground state. The first realisation of such…
Symmetry-breaking thermally induced collapse of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates
Andrej Junginger, Jörg Main, Günter Wunner +1
We investigate a Bose-Einstein condensate with additional long-range dipolar interaction in a cylindrically symmetric trap within a variational framework. Compared to the ground st…
Quantum-classical model for the formation of Rydberg molecules
Andrej Junginger, Jörg Main, Günter Wunner
A fascinating aspect of Rydberg atoms is their ability to form huge but very weakly bound molecules with a ground state atom, only held together by a scattering process between the…
Transition state theory for wave packet dynamics. II. Thermal decay of Bose-Einstein condensates with long-range interaction
Andrej Junginger, Markus Dorwarth, Jörg Main +1
We apply transition state theory to coupled Gaussian wave packets and calculate thermal decay rates of Bose-Einstein condensates with additional long-range interaction. The ground…
Transition state theory for wave packet dynamics. I. Thermal decay in metastable Schrödinger systems
Andrej Junginger, Jörg Main, Günter Wunner +1
We demonstrate the application of transition state theory to wave packet dynamics in metastable Schrödinger systems which are approached by means of a variational ansatz for the wa…
