New Journal of Physics, 2020 We propose a scheme to realize a heavy Rydberg system (HRS), a bound pair of oppositely charged ions, from a gas of ultracold atoms. The intermediate step to achieve large internuclear separations is the creation of a unique class of ultra-long-range ...

Giant-atom effects on population and entanglement dynamics of Rydberg atoms in the optical regime
Physical Review Research, 2023 Giant atoms are attracting interest as an emerging paradigm in the quantum optics of engineered waveguides. At variance with the well-known artificial giant atoms for microwave photonics, here we propose the archetype of a giant atom working in the ...

Potassium‐Ligand Cooperation Facilitated Chemical Bond Activation and Catalytic Hydrogenation
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A new strategy for alkali metal‐mediated catalysis based on metal–ligand cooperation (MLC) is presented. Potassium pincer complexes exhibit remarkable reactivity toward a range of molecules via an unprecedented potassium–ligand cooperative mechanism. This reactivity enables potassium‐catalyzed hydrogenation, providing efficient reduction of ketones and

Experiments in Cavity QED: Exploring the Interaction of Quantized Light with a Single Trapped Atom [PDF]
, 2005 The experiments discussed in this thesis focus on the interaction of a single trapped atom with the single mode of a high-finesse optical cavity, in the regime of strong coupling.

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency with Rydberg Atoms [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2011 We present a theory of electromagnetically induced transparency in a cold ensemble of strongly interacting Rydberg atoms. Long-range interactions between the atoms constrain the medium to behave as a collection of superatoms, each comprising a blockade volume that can accommodate at most one Rydberg excitation.

Generation of cold Rydberg atoms at submicron distances from an optical nanofiber
Physical Review Research, 2020 We report on a controllable, hybrid quantum system consisting of cold Rydberg atoms and an optical nanofiber interface. Using a two-photon ladder-type excitation in ^{87}Rb, we demonstrate both coherent and incoherent Rydberg excitation at submicron ...

Diffraction of Rydberg Atoms by Laser Light [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 1992 It is shown that semiclassical path representations provide a well-suited framework for the description of the diffraction of Rydberg atoms by laser light. They allow one to relate the momentum exchange between the atomic center-of-mass motion and the laser field directly to elementary laser-assisted collisions between the excited Rydberg electron and ...

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 ...
