The long-range interaction between an ion and a highly excited Rydberg atom lead to fascinating dynamical phenomena with exaggerated spatial and temporal properties that are accessible using our high-resolution ion microscope. We study the vibrational dynamics of molecular bound states that are formed in the potential wells located at the avoided crossings between the Rb nP Rydberg state and the hydrogenic manifold. We observe oscillations of the wavepacket within the molecular potential with a frequency, orders of magnitude slower than that observed in conventional molecules. To investigate the fermionic correlations in a Fermi gas, we are upgrading our apparatus to produce an ultracold gas of Lithium atoms. To this end, we are currently planning a dual species atomic source for Rb and Li, which in combination with our currently being used dual species Zeeman slower will aid us in our goal to extend our current studies to a multi-species hybrid system.
