By photoionizing samples of laser-cooled atoms with laser light tuned just above the
ionization limit, plasmas can be created with electron and ion temperatures below 10 K …

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 experimentally study the full counting statistics of few-body Rydberg aggregates excited
from a quasi-one-dimensional atomic gas. We measure asymmetric excitation spectra and …

Far-from-equilibrium dynamics that lead to self-organization are highly relevant to complex
dynamical systems not only in physics but also in life, earth, and social sciences. However, it …

We observe individual dark-state polaritons as they propagate through an ultracold atomic
gas involving Rydberg states coupled via an electromagnetically induced transparency …

How do isolated quantum systems approach an equilibrium state? We experimentally and
theoretically address this question for a prototypical spin system formed by ultracold atoms …

Laser cooling of a neutral plasma is a challenging task because of the high temperatures
typically associated with the plasma state. By using an ultracold neutral plasma created by …

We develop a theoretical framework for the dissipative propagation of quantized light under
conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency in atomic media involving strongly …

We investigate the zero-temperature phases of bosonic and fermionic gases confined to one
dimension and interacting via a class of finite-range soft-shoulder potentials (ie, soft-core …

In this paper, we present ideas that were part of the miniconference on the crossover
between High Energy Density Plasmas (HEDP) and Ultracold Neutral Plasmas (UNPs) at …
