Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules

C Fey, F Hummel, P Schmelcher - Molecular Physics, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
We review ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRMs), which are bound states between a
Rydberg atom and one or more ground-state atoms with bond lengths on the order of …

Phenomenology of a Rydberg impurity in an ideal Bose-Einstein condensate

AAT Durst, MT Eiles - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
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 …

Green's-function treatment of Rydberg molecules with spins

CH Greene, MT Eiles - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
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 …

Hamiltonian for the inclusion of spin effects in long-range Rydberg molecules

MT Eiles, CH Greene - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
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 …

Precision spectroscopy of negative-ion resonances in ultralong-range Rydberg molecules

F Engel, T Dieterle, F Hummel, C Fey, P Schmelcher… - Physical review …, 2019 - APS
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 …

Rydberg molecules for ion-atom scattering in the ultracold regime

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 …

Trilobites, butterflies, and other exotic specimens of long-range Rydberg molecules

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 …

Vibronic interactions in trilobite and butterfly Rydberg molecules

F Hummel, P Schmelcher, MT Eiles - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
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 …
