Rydberg atoms with principal quantum number n⪢ 1 have exaggerated atomic properties
including dipole-dipole interactions that scale as n 4 and radiative lifetimes that scale as n 3 …

Quantum Ising models are canonical models for the study of quantum phase transitions
(Sachdev 1999 Quantum Phase Transitions (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press)) and …

We present an object-oriented Python library for the computation of properties of highly-
excited Rydberg states of alkali atoms. These include single-body effects such as dipole …

We report the direct measurement of the van der Waals interaction between two isolated,
single Rydberg atoms separated by a controlled distance of a few micrometers. Working in a …

We review here the studies performed about interactions in an assembly of cold Rydberg
atoms. We focus especially on the review of the dipole–dipole interactions and on the effect …

We describe a method for controlling many-body states in extended ensembles of Rydberg
atoms, forming crystalline structures during laser excitation of a frozen atomic gas …

We propose a mechanism for engineering chiral interactions in Rydberg atoms via a
directional antiblockade condition, where an atom can change its state only if an atom to its …

We study the appearance of correlated many-body phenomena in an ensemble of atoms
driven resonantly into a strongly interacting Rydberg state. The ground state of the …

We investigate the possibility of a bistable phase in an open many-body system. To this end,
we discuss the microscopic dynamics of a continuously off-resonantly driven Rydberg lattice …

We present the experimental observation of the antiblockade in an ultracold Rydberg gas
recently proposed by Ates et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 023002 (2007) PRLTAO 0031-9007 …
