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 $(n - 1) d + n s$ molecular resonances in an ultracold rydberg gas

J. Stanojevic, R. Côté, D. Tong +2

We have calculated long-range molecular potentials of the $0_{g}^{+}$ , $0_{u}^{-}$ and $1_{u}$ symmetries between highly-excited rubidium atoms. Strong $n p + n p$ potentials characterized b…

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…
