Exciting apparatus helps atoms see the light

Researchers in the Light-Matter Interactions for Quantum Technologies Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have generated Rydberg atoms—unusually large excited atoms—near ...

Direct observation of giant molecules

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ) achieved to form giant diatomic molecules and optically detect them afterwards by using a high-resolution objective.

Simple model explains crystal formation of exceptional atoms

Scientists from the FOM Foundation, Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Buenos Aires have discovered why fluctuations in the number of Rydberg atoms that forms in an ultracold gas decreases as the interaction ...
