Ultracold Chemical Reactions of a Single Rydberg Atom in a Dense Gas

Ultracold Chemical Reactions of a Single Rydberg Atom in a Dense Gas

Within a dense environment (ρ≈10^{14}  atoms/cm^{3}) at ultracold temperatures (T<1  μK), a single atom excited to a Rydberg state acts as a reaction center for surrounding neutral atoms. At these temperatures, almost all neutral atoms within the Rydberg orbit are bound to the Rydberg core and in...
