Cold and Ultracold Rydberg Atoms in Strong Magnetic Fields
T. Pohl, H. R. Sadeghpour, P. Schmelcher
Cold Rydberg atoms exposed to strong magnetic fields possess unique properties which open the pathway for an intriguing many-body dynamics taking place in Rydberg gases consisting…
Magnetic trapping of ultracold Rydberg atoms in low angular momentum states
Michael Mayle, Igor Lesanovsky, Peter Schmelcher
We theoretically investigate the quantum properties of nS, nP, and nD Rydberg atoms in a magnetic Ioffe-Pritchard trap. In particular, it is demonstrated that the two-body characte…
Quantum dynamics of resonant molecule formation in waveguides
Vladimir S. Melezhik, Peter Schmelcher
We explore the quantum dynamics of heteronuclear atomic collisions in waveguides and demonstrate the existence of a novel mechanism for the resonant formation of polar molecules. T…
Exploiting the composite character of Rydberg atoms for cold atom trapping
M. Mayle, I. Lesanovsky, P. Schmelcher
By investigating the quantum properties of magnetically trapped nS Rydberg atoms, it is demonstrated that the composite nature of Rydberg atoms significantly alters their trapping…
