Atoms with a highly excited electron, called Rydberg atoms, can form unusual types of
molecular bonds,,–. The bonds differ from the well-known ionic and covalent bonds, not only …

Measurement-based quantum computing relies on the rapid creation of large-scale
entanglement in a register of stable qubits. Atomic arrays are well suited to store quantum …

Controlling molecular binding at the level of single atoms is one of the holy grails of quantum
chemistry. Rydberg macrodimers─ bound states between highly excited Rydberg atoms─ …

We propose a novel type of Rydberg dimer, consisting of a Rydberg-state atom bound to a
distant positive ion. The molecule is formed through long-range electric-multipole interaction …

We present a novel binding mechanism where a neutral Rydberg atom and an atomic ion
form a molecular bound state at a large internuclear distance. The binding mechanism is …

The coupling of an isolated quantum state to a continuum is typically associated with
decoherence and decreased lifetime. For coupling rates larger than the bandwidth of the …

Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRMs) are highly imbalanced bound systems formed
via the low-energy scattering of a Rydberg electron with a ground-state atom. We investigate …

We measure the hyperfine structure of n P 1/2 Rydberg states for n= 42, 43, 44, and 46 using
mm-wave spectroscopy on an ensemble of laser-cooled Rb 85 atoms. Systematic …

The decay of Rydberg-atom–ion molecules (RAIMs) due to nonadiabatic couplings between
electronic potential-energy surfaces is investigated. We employ the Born-Huang …

Extended Hubbard models have proven to bear novel phases of matter, but their
experimental realization remains challenging. In this work we propose to use bosonic …
