The properties and behavior of a Ring Rydberg Composite are explicated. This system consists of a ring of ground state atoms centered on a Rydberg atom, whose electron elastically scatters off the ground state atoms. We transform the electronic Hamiltonian into a discrete tight-binding representation in which the on-site energies and long-range hopping between sites are controlled and mediated by the Rydberg electron. From this new representation, which to a large extent enables an analytic…

Anderson localization of a Rydberg electron

Highly excited Rydberg atoms inherit their level structure, symmetries, and scaling behavior from the hydrogen atom. We will demonstrate that these fundamental properties enable a thermodynamic limit…

Stretching and bending dynamics in triatomic ultralong-range Rydberg molecules

We investigate polyatomic ultralong-range Rydberg molecules consisting of three ground-state atoms bound to a Rydberg atom via $s$- and $p$-wave interactions. By employing the finite basis set…

Observation of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules

The spectra of the vibrational ground state and of the first excited state of the Rydberg molecule, the rubidium dimer Rb(5s)–Rb(ns), agree well with simple model predictions and allow us to extract the s-wave scattering length for scattering between the R Sydberg electron and the ground-state atom, Rb (5s), in the low-energy regime.

Polyatomic molecules formed with a Rydberg atom in an ultracold environment

Abstract.We investigate properties of ultralong-range polyatomic molecules formed with a Rb Rydberg atom and several ground-state atoms whose distance from the Rydberg atom is of the order of n2a0,…

Ultracold molecular Rydberg physics in a high density environment

Sufficiently high densities in Bose–Einstein condensates provide favorable conditions for the production of ultralong-range polyatomic molecules consisting of one Rydberg atom and a number of neutral…

Creation of Rydberg Polarons in a Bose Gas.

Spectroscopic observation of Rydberg polarons in an atomic Bose gas is reported and a functional determinant approach (FDA) is described that solves an extended Fröhlich Hamiltonian for a mobile impurity in a BoseGas.

Creation of polar and nonpolar ultra-long-range rydberg molecules

A ubiquitous class of long-range molecular Rydberg states, whose Born-Oppenheimer potential curves are oscillatory in nature are predicted, whose oscillations reflect the nodal structure of the atomic Ryd Berg state wave functions.

Mesoscopic Rydberg Impurity in an Atomic Quantum Gas.

A new theoretical approach is developed for describing multiscale dynamics of Rydberg excitations in quantum Bose gases and finds that the crossover from few- to many-body dynamics manifests in a dramatic change in spectral profile from resolved molecular lines to broad Gaussian distributions representing a superpolaronic state in which many atoms bind to the Ryd Berg impurity.

Ultra-long-range Rydberg trimers with a repulsive two-body interaction.

It is shown that by adding a second ground-state atom, a long-range bound triatomic molecule becomes possible.

Quantum gas microscopy of Rydberg macrodimers

Rydberg macrodimers—bound states of two highly excited Rydberg atoms—feature interatomic distances easily exceeding optical wavelengths and are observed by direct microscopic observation and detailed characterization in a gas of ultracold rubidium atoms in an optical lattice.

Building principle of triatomic trilobite Rydberg molecules

We investigate triatomic molecules that consist of two ground state atoms and a highly excited Rydberg atom, bound at large internuclear distances of thousands of \AA ngstroms. In the molecular state…
