Recent years have seen the emergence of a new generation of collision and cold-chemistry
experiments in which cold atoms and ions are brought into contact in a controlled way in …

We study states with intrinsic topological order subjected to local decoherence from the
perspective of separability, ie, whether a decohered mixed state can be expressed as an …

Controlling molecular binding at the level of single atoms is one of the holy grails of quantum
chemistry. Rydberg macrodimers─ bound states between highly excited Rydberg atoms─ …

Atoms confined in optical tweezer arrays constitute a platform for the implementation of
quantum computers and simulators. State-dependent operations are realized by exploiting …

Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules provide an exciting testbed for molecular physics at
exaggerated scales. In the so-called trilobite and butterfly Rydberg molecules, the Born …

Abstract Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRMs) comprise a Rydberg atom in whose
electron cloud are embedded one (or more) ground-state atoms that are weakly-bound …

The coupling of an isolated quantum state to a continuum is typically associated with
decoherence and decreased lifetime. For coupling rates larger than the bandwidth of the …

Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRMs) are highly imbalanced bound systems formed
via the low-energy scattering of a Rydberg electron with a ground-state atom. We investigate …

The onset of collision dynamics between an ion and a Rydberg atom is studied in a regime
characterized by a multitude of collision channels. These channels arise from coupling …
