Non-adiabatic quantum state preparation and quantum state transport in chains of Rydberg atoms
New Journal of Physics, 2017 Motivated by recent progress in the experimental manipulation of cold atoms in optical lattices, we study three different protocols for non-adiabatic quantum state preparation and state transport in chains of Rydberg atoms.

Observation of blackbody radiation enhanced superradiance in ultracold Rydberg gases
New Journal of Physics, 2021 An ensemble of excited atoms can synchronize emission of light collectively in a process known as superradiance when its characteristic size is smaller than the wavelength of emitted photons.

Electron-nuclear correlated multiphoton-route to Rydberg fragments of molecules
Nature Communications, 2019 Rydberg atoms can be created from photoexcitation of molecules using intense ultrafast laser pulses. Here the authors use a coincidence detection of electrons, ion and excited Rydberg atoms and their energy sharing to reveal the general mechanism of ...

VUV/EUV ionising radiation and atoms and ions: dual laser plasma investigations [PDF]
, 2004 The interaction of ionising radiation with atoms and ions is a key fundamental process. This report concentrates on studies of photoexcitation/photoionisation using laser-produced plasmas as continuum sources and synchronised laser plasma plumes to ...

Ultracold Chemical Reactions of a Single Rydberg Atom in a Dense Gas
Physical Review X, 2016 Within a dense environment (ρ≈10^{14} atoms/cm^{3}) at ultracold temperatures (T140 compared to 1 μs at n=90. In addition, a second observed reaction mechanism, namely, Rb_{2}^{+} molecule formation, was studied.

Ultralong-range molecule engineering via Rydberg dressing
Physical Review Research, 2020 In 2000, three pioneering papers launched a new era in Rydberg physics. One predicted the blockade mechanism where extremely large Rydberg-Rydberg interactions only allow a single excitation in a given volume.

Two-Photon Laser Excitation of Rb Rydberg Atoms in the Magneto-Optical Trap and Vapor Cell
Photonics, 2023 We present our experimental results of two-photon laser excitation 5S1/2→5P3/2→nS1/2 of Rb atoms to Rydberg nS1/2 states with a homemade 480 nm laser in the second excitation step.

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 ...
