We investigate the absorption spectrum of a Rydberg impurity immersed in and interacting with an ideal Bose-Einstein condensate. Here, the impurity-bath interaction range can …
The determination of ultra-long-range molecular potential curves has been reformulated using the Coulomb Green's function to give a solution in terms of the roots of an analytical …
The interaction between a Rydberg electron and a neutral atom situated inside its extended orbit is described via contact interactions for each atom-electron scattering channel. In …

The level structure of negative ions near the electron detachment limit dictates the low- energy scattering of an electron with the parent neutral atom. We demonstrate that a single …

We propose a novel experimental method to extend the investigation of ion-atom collisions from the so far studied cold, essentially classical regime to the ultracold, quantum regime …

This PhD tutorial discusses ultra-long-range Rydberg molecules, the exotic bound states of a Rydberg atom and one or more ground state atoms immersed in the Rydberg electron's …
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 …
Abstract Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRMs) comprise a Rydberg atom in whose electron cloud are embedded one (or more) ground-state atoms that are weakly-bound …
We observe long-range Rb 85 and Rb 87 (24 DJ+ 5 S 1/2) Rydberg molecules for eight different spin couplings, with binding energies up to 440 MHz and subpercent relative …
