Rydberg atoms are used in a wide range of applications due to their peculiar properties like strong dipolar and van der Waals interactions. The choice of Rydberg state has a huge impact on the strength and angular dependence of the interactions, and...

Emergence of Synchronization in a Driven-Dissipative Hot Rydberg Vapor (2023)
Journal Article

We observe synchronization in a thermal (35-60 °C) atomic (Rb) ensemble driven to a highly excited Rydberg state (principle quantum number n ranging from 43 to 79). Synchronization in this system is unexpected due to the atomic motion; however, we sh... Read More about Emergence of Synchronization in a Driven-Dissipative Hot Rydberg Vapor.
