Observation of Electric Quadrupole Transitions to Rydberg nd States of Ultracold Rubidium Atoms
D. Tong, S. M. Farooqi, E. G. M. van Kempen +5
We report the observation of dipole-forbidden, but quadrupole-allowed, one-photon transitions to high Rydberg states in Rb. Using pulsed UV excitation of ultracold atoms in a magne…
Long-range potentials and molecular resonances in an ultracold rydberg gas
J. Stanojevic, R. Côté, D. Tong +2
We have calculated long-range molecular potentials of the , and symmetries between highly-excited rubidium atoms. Strong potentials characterized b…
Superradiance in ultracold Rydberg gases
Tun Wang, S. F. Yelin, R. Cote +6
Experiments in dense, ultracold gases of rubidium Rydberg atoms show a considerable decrease of the radiative excited state lifetimes compared to dilute gases. This accelerated dec…
Local Blockade of Rydberg Excitation in an Ultracold Gas
D. Tong, S. M. Farooqi, J. Stanojevic +5
In the laser excitation of ultracold atoms to Rydberg states, we observe a dramatic suppression caused by van der Waals interactions. This behavior is interpreted as a local excita…
