Symmetry of molecular Rydberg states revealed by XUV transient absorption spectroscopy [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Transient absorption spectroscopy is used to identify the structural characteristics of the atoms and molecules. Here the authors used extreme ultraviolet transient absorption spectroscopy to identify the Rydberg state symmetry of aligned molecules.

Long-Range Atom–Ion Rydberg Molecule: A Novel Molecular Binding Mechanism
Atoms, 2021 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 based on Stark shifts and level crossings that are induced in the Rydberg atom due

Exploring the vibrational series of pure trilobite Rydberg molecules
Nature Communications, 2023 In trilobite Rydberg molecules, an atom in the ground state is bound by electron-atom scattering to a Rydberg electron that is in a superposition of high angular momentum states.

Vibronic interactions in trilobite and butterfly Rydberg molecules
Physical Review Research, 2023 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-Oppenheimer approximation can fail due to strong nonadiabatic couplings ...

Enriching the Quantum Toolbox of Ultracold Molecules with Rydberg Atoms
PRX Quantum, 2022 We describe a quantum information architecture consisting of a hybrid array of optically trapped molecules and atoms. This design leverages the large transition dipole moments of Rydberg atoms to mediate fast, high-fidelity gates between qubits encoded ...

Observation of spin-orbit-dependent electron scattering using long-range Rydberg molecules
Physical Review Research, 2020 We present experimental evidence for spin-orbit interaction of an electron as it scatters from a neutral atom. The scattering process takes place within a Rb_{2} ultralong-range Rydberg molecule, consisting of a Rydberg atomic core, a Rydberg electron ...

Dynamics of atoms within atoms
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Recent experiments with Bose–Einstein condensates have entered a regime in which thousands of ground-state condensate atoms fill the Rydberg-electron orbit.

Lifetimes of ultra-long-range strontium Rydberg molecules [PDF]
, 2015 The lifetimes of the lower-lying vibrational states of ultralong-range strontium Rydberg molecules comprising one ground-state 5s2 1S0 atom and one Rydberg atom in the 5s38s 3S1 state are reported. The molecules are created in an ultracold gas held in an

Quantum Computation in a Hybrid Array of Molecules and Rydberg Atoms
PRX Quantum, 2022 We show that an array of polar molecules interacting with Rydberg atoms is a promising hybrid system for scalable quantum computation. Quantum information is stored in long-lived hyperfine or rotational states of molecules, which interact indirectly ...

Microscopic electronic structure tomography of Rydberg macrodimers
Physical Review Research, 2021 Precise control and study of molecules is challenging due to the variety of internal degrees of freedom and local coordinates that are typically not controlled in an experiment.
