Nonlocal nonlinear response of thermal Rydberg atoms and modulational instability in absorptive nonlinear media
Lida Zhang, Jörg Evers
Nonlinear and nonlocal effects are discussed in the interaction of laser fields with thermal Rydberg atoms in electromagnetically induced transparency configuration. We show that u…
Coherent versus incoherent excitation dynamics in dissipative many-body Rydberg systems
David W. Schönleber, Martin Gärttner, Jörg Evers
We study the impact of dephasing on the excitation dynamics of a cloud of ultracold two-level Rydberg atoms for both resonant and off-resonant laser excitation, using the wave func…
Finite-size effects in strongly interacting Rydberg gases
M. Gärttner, K. P. Heeg, T. Gasenzer +1
The scaling of the number of Rydberg excitations in a laser-driven cloud of atoms with the interaction strength is found to be affected by the finite size of the system. The scalin…
Dynamic formation of Rydberg aggregates at off-resonant excitation
M. Gärttner, K. P. Heeg, T. Gasenzer +1
The dynamics of a cloud of ultra-cold two-level atoms is studied at off-resonant laser driving to a Rydberg state. We find that resonant excitation channels lead to strongly peaked…
