Controlled many-body interactions in a frozen Rydberg gas

Journal Article Mourachko, I ; Wenhui, Li ; Gallagher, T F - Physical Review. A

Previous resonant dipole-dipole energy-transfer experiments of cold Rydberg gases [Anderson et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 249 (1998); Mourachko et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 253 (1998)] have been interpreted as providing evidence of many-body, as opposed to purely binary, effects. Here we separate two-body and many-body interactions by introducing an additional Rydberg state, which does not participate directly in the energy-transfer process, but is strongly coupled to one of the final states. We observe broadening of the energy-transfer resonances due to this added Rydberg state, which clearly demonstrates the many-body nature of the dipole-dipole interactions in such a system.

Many-Body Spin Interactions and the Ground State of a Dense Rydberg Lattice Gas

Journal Article Lesanovsky, Igor - Physical Review Letters

We study a one-dimensional atomic lattice gas in which Rydberg atoms are excited by a laser and whose external dynamics is frozen. We identify a parameter regime in which the Hamiltonian is well approximated by a spin Hamiltonian with quasilocal many-body interactions which possesses an exact analytic ground state solution. This state is a superposition of all states of the system that are compatible with an interaction induced constraint weighted by a fugacity. We perform a detailed analysis of this state which exhibits a crossover between a paramagnetic phase with short-ranged correlations and a crystal. This study also leads usmore »« less

Many-body theory of excitation dynamics in an ultracold Rydberg gas

Journal Article Ates, C ; Pattard, T ; Rost, J M ; ... - Physical Review. A

We develop a theoretical approach for the dynamics of Rydberg excitations in ultracold gases,with a realistically large number of atoms. We rely on the reduction of the single-atom Bloch equations to rate equations, which is possible under various experimentally relevant conditions. Here, we explicitly refer to a two-step excitation scheme. We discuss the conditions under which our approach is valid by comparing the results with the solution of the exact quantum master equation for two interacting atoms. Concerning the emergence of an excitation blockade in a Rydberg gas, our results are in qualitative agreement with experiment. Possible sources of quantitativemore »« less
