Phase-Imprinting of Bose-Einstein Condensates with Rydberg Impurities
Rick Mukherjee, Cenap Ates, Weibin Li +1
We show how the phase profile of Bose-Einstein condensates can be engineered through its in- teraction with localized Rydberg excitations. The interaction is made controllable and…
Exciton dynamics in emergent Rydberg lattices
S. Bettelli, D. Maxwell, T. Fernholz +3
The dynamics of excitons in a one-dimensional ensemble with partial spatial order are studied. During optical excitation, cold Rydberg atoms spontaneously organize into regular spa…
Non-adiabatic motional effects and dissipative blockade for Rydberg atoms excited from optical lattices or microtraps
W. Li, C. Ates, I. Lesanovsky
The laser-excitation of Rydberg atoms in ultracold gases is often described assuming that the atomic motion is frozen during the excitation time. We show that this frozen gas appro…
Fast and Quasideterministic Single Ion Source from a Dipole-Blockaded Atomic Ensemble
C. Ates, I. Lesanovsky, C. S. Adams +1
We present a fast and Quasideterministic protocol for the production of single ions and electrons from a cloud of laser cooled atoms. The approach is based on a two-step process wh…
Dissipative Binding of Lattice Bosons through Distance-Selective Pair Loss
C. Ates, B. Olmos, W. Li +1
We show that in a gas of ultra cold atoms distance selective two-body loss can be engineered via the resonant laser excitation of atom pairs to interacting electronic states. In an…
Entropic enhancement of spatial correlations in a laser-driven Rydberg gas
C. Ates, I. Lesanovsky
In a laser-driven Rydberg gas the strong interaction between atoms excited to Rydberg states results in the formation of collective excitations. Atoms within a so-called blockade v…
