Non-adiabatic interaction effects in the spectra of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules
Rohan Srikumar, Frederic Hummel, Peter Schmelcher
Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRM) are highly imbalanced bound systems formed via the low-energy scattering of a Rydberg electron with a ground-state atom. We investigate for…
Vibronic interactions in trilobite and butterfly Rydberg molecules
Frederic Hummel, Peter Schmelcher, Matthew T. Eiles
Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules provide an exciting testbed for molecular physics at exaggerated scales. In the so-called trilobite and butterfly Rydberg molecules, the Born-Oppe…
Charged ultralong-range Rydberg trimers
Daniel J. Bosworth, Frederic Hummel, Peter Schmelcher
We show that the recently observed class of long-range ion-Rydberg molecules can be divided into two families of states, which are characterised by their unique electronic structur…
Synthetic dimension-induced conical intersections in Rydberg molecules
Frederic Hummel, Matthew T. Eiles, Peter Schmelcher
We observe a series of conical intersections in the potential energy curves governing both the collision between a Rydberg atom and a ground-state atom and the structure of Rydberg…
Electric field-induced wave-packet dynamics and geometrical rearrangement of trilobite Rydberg molecules
Frederic Hummel, Kevin Keiler, Peter Schmelcher
We investigate the quantum dynamics of ultra-long-range trilobite molecules exposed to homogeneous electric fields. A trilobite molecule consists of a Rydberg atom and a ground-sta…
An ultracold heavy Rydberg system formed from ultra-long-range molecules bound in a stairwell potential
Frederic Hummel, Peter Schmelcher, Herwig Ott +1
We propose a scheme to realize a heavy Rydberg system (HRS), a bound pair of oppositely charged ions, from a gas of ultracold atoms. The intermediate step to achieve large internuc…
