Rydberg atoms with principal quantum number n⪢ 1 have exaggerated atomic properties
including dipole-dipole interactions that scale as n 4 and radiative lifetimes that scale as n 3 …

The main objective of quantum simulation is an in-depth understanding of many-body
physics, which is important for fundamental issues (quantum phase transitions, transport,…) …

Rates of depopulation by blackbody radiation (BBR) and effective lifetimes of alkali-metal n
S, n P, and n D Rydberg states have been calculated in a wide range of principal quantum …

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 …

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 …

Clouds of ultracold strontium 5 s 48 s 1 S 0 or 5 s 47 d 1 D 2 Rydberg atoms are created by
two-photon excitation of laser-cooled 5 s 2 1 S 0 atoms. The spontaneous evolution of the …

This Research Letter reports on the observation of superradiance decoherence caused by
long-range dipole-dipole interactions between Rydberg atoms. A cold atom cloud is …

We present absolute-frequency measurements for the transitions from the 6 s 1/2 ground
state of Cs 133 to np 1/2 and np 3/2 Rydberg states. The transition frequencies are …

We investigate the (0001) surface of single crystal quartz with a submonolayer of Rb
adsorbates. Using Rydberg atom electromagnetically induced transparency, we investigate …

We have studied ionization of alkali-metal Rydberg atoms by blackbody radiation (BBR).
The results of theoretical calculations of ionization rates of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs Rydberg …
