• Authors: David Mellado-Alcedo, Alexander Guttridge, Simon L. Cornish, H. R. Sadeghpour, Rosario Gonzalez-Ferez
• Abstract summary: We consider ultralong-range polyatomic Rydberg molecules formed by combining a Rydberg cesium atom and a ground-state RbCs molecule. We explore the regime where the charge-dipole interaction due to the Rydberg electron with the diatomic polar molecule couples the quantum defect Rydberg states Cs(ns) to the nearest hydrogenic manifold.

• Abstract: We consider ultralong-range polyatomic Rydberg molecules formed by combining a Rydberg cesium atom and a ground-state RbCs molecule. We explore the regime where the charge-dipole interaction due to the Rydberg electron with the diatomic polar molecule couples the quantum defect Rydberg states Cs(ns) to the nearest degenerate hydrogenic manifold. We consider polyatomic Rydberg molecules in states which are amenable to production in optical tweezers and study the influence of nonadiabatic coupling on the likelihood of their formation. The decay rates of the vibrational states reflect the interference signature of wave function spread in different coupled potential wells.

  We demonstrate Rydberg blockade due to the charge-dipole interaction between a single Rb atom and a single RbCs molecule confined in optical tweezers. Results open up the prospect of a hybrid platform where quantum information is transferred between individually trapped molecules using Rydberg atoms.

• Charged ultralong-range Rydberg trimers [0.0]
  Long-range ion-Rydberg molecules can be divided into two families of states, which are characterised by their unique electronic structures. We predict that in both cases these diatomic molecular states can bind additional ground state atoms lying within the orbit of the Rydberg electron. The predicted trimer binding energies and excitation series are distinct enough to be observed using current experimental techniques.

  Rydberg bi-molecules form in collisions between polar molecules in cold and ultracold settings. The rotational constant for the Rydberg bi-molecules is in the MHz range, allowing for microwave spectroscopy of rotational transitions. The Rydberg molecules described here hold promise for studies of a special class of long-range bi-molecular interactions.
