- Title: Formation of ultracold ion pairs through long-range Rydberg molecules
- Authors: Michael Peper and Johannes Deiglmayr
- Abstract summary: We propose a new approach to excite ion-pair states of ultracold dimers.
First long-range Rydberg molecules are formed by photoassociation, driven by stimulated emission towards the ion-pair state.
We discuss potential applications for the study of strongly correlated plasmas consisting of oppositely charged particles of equal or similar mass.

- Abstract: We propose a new approach to excite ion-pair states of ultracold dimers. The
central idea is a two-step process where first long-range Rydberg molecules are
formed by photoassociation, which are then driven by stimulated emission
towards the ion-pair state, a process bearing features of a photo-induced
harpooning reaction. We assess the feasibility of this approach through a
detailed experimental and theoretical study on a specific system,
p-wave-scattering dominated long-range Rydberg molecules in caesium, and
discuss potential applications for the study of strongly correlated plasmas
consisting of oppositely charged particles of equal or similar mass.

We study the melting of charge-density waves in a Holstein model after a sudden switch-on of the electronic hopping.
A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state.
The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states.
Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

ionic products, created by the decay of a long-range Rydberg molecule, modify the excitation spectrum of surrounding ground-state atoms.
Pulsed-field ionisation typically doesn't discriminate between the ionization of a long-range Rydberg molecule and an isolated Rydberg atom.
We unambiguously identify the signatures of this detection mechanism in the photoassociation of long-range Rydberg molecules bound below nP_3/2 Rydberg states of cesium.

We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state.
Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system.
We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
