Q 1: Tutorial Rydberg Physics (joint session AKjDPG/SYRY/Q)

Q 1.1: Tutorial

Monday, March 14, 2022, 11:00–12:00, AKjDPG-H17

From the Rydberg Formula to Rydberg arrays — •Jan Michael Rost — Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany

Covering milestones in the development of Rydberg physics, the tutorial will introduce the properties of Rydberg atoms and major elements for a theoretical description. Milestones include hydrogen in a magnetic field and doubly excited states of atoms with their connection to classical chaos and periodic orbits through the semiclassical nature of Rydberg electrons. With ultracold environments and traps ultra long-range Rydberg molecules as seeds for Rydberg chemistry have been realized as well as ultracold plasmas. Fundamental phenomena such as the interaction blockade and Rydberg dressing have been identified as major tools to establish and control correlation in Rydberg dynamics on the way to quantum computation with Rydberg arrays which will be the covered in the second tuturial.
