Energy transport in ultracold Rydberg aggregates — •Matthias Weidemüller — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Heidelberg, Germany

Highly excited atoms (Rydberg atoms) can serve as a model system to study energy transport under well controlled conditions [1]. I will give an overview over the latest developments and prospects of this field. In particular, recent results on in-situ imaging of the dynamics of dipole-mediated energy transport in an ultracold Rydberg gas will be presented [2].
