We perform a comprehensive investigation of the coupling between a Rydberg-dressed atomic gas and an ultra-cold plasma. Using simultaneous time-resolved measurements of both neutral atoms and ions, we show that plasma formation occurs via a Coulomb a... Read More about Coulomb anti-blockade in a Rydberg gas.

Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap (2018)
Journal Article
Bounds, A. D., Jackson, N. C., Hanley, R. K., Faoro, R., Bridge, E. M., Huillery, P., & Jones, M. P. A. (2018). Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap. Physical Review Letters, 120(18), Article 183401. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.120.183401

We propose and demonstrate the laser cooling and trapping of Rydberg-dressed Sr atoms. By offresonantly coupling the excited state of a narrow (7 kHz) cooling transition to a high-lying Rydberg state, we transfer Rydberg properties such as enhanced e...
