Dynamically probing ultracold lattice gases via Rydberg molecules

Dynamically probing ultracold lattice gases via Rydberg molecules

We show that the excitation of long-range Rydberg molecules in a three-dimensional optical lattice can be used as a position- and time-sensitive probe for doubly occupied sites in the system. To this end, we detect the ions which are continuously generated by the decay of the formed Rydberg molecule...
