Density matrix reconstruction of three-level atoms via Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency
V. Gavryusev, A. Signoles, M. Ferreira-Cao +7
We present combined measurements of the spatially-resolved optical spectrum and the total excited-atom number in an ultracold gas of three-level atoms under electromagnetically ind…
Full counting statistics of laser excited Rydberg aggregates in a one-dimensional geometry
H. Schempp, G. Günter, M. Robert-de-Saint-Vincent +8
We experimentally study the full counting statistics of few-body Rydberg aggregates excited from a quasi-one-dimensional Rydberg gas. We measure asymmetric excitation spectra and i…
An experimental approach for investigating many-body phenomena in Rydberg-interacting quantum systems
C. S. Hofmann, G. Günter, H. Schempp +6
Recent developments in the study of ultracold Rydberg gases demand an advanced level of experimental sophistication, in which high atomic and optical densities must be combined wit…
Sub-Poissonian statistics of Rydberg-interacting dark-state polaritons
Christoph S. Hofmann, Georg Günter, Hanna Schempp +5
Interfacing light and matter at the quantum level is at the heart of modern atomic and optical physics and enables new quantum technologies involving the manipulation of single pho…
Spontaneous avalanche ionization of a strongly blockaded Rydberg gas
M. Robert-de-Saint-Vincent, C. S. Hofmann, H. Schempp +3
We report the sudden and spontaneous evolution of an initially correlated gas of repulsively interacting Rydberg atoms to an ultracold plasma. Under continuous laser coupling we cr…
Interaction enhanced imaging of individual atoms embedded in dense atomic gases
G. Günter, M. Robert-de-Saint-Vincent, H. Schempp +3
We propose a new all-optical method to image individual atoms within dense atomic gases. The scheme exploits interaction induced shifts on highly polarizable excited states, which…
