Tailoring the Phonon Environment of Embedded Rydberg Aggregates — •Sidharth Rammohan1, Sebastian Wüster1, and Alexander Eisfeld2 — 1IISER Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India — 2MPIPKS, Dresden, Germany
State-of-the-art experiments can controllably create Rydberg atoms inside a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) such that the Rydberg electron orbital volume contains many neutral atoms, which can be tuned, resulting in electron-atom scattering events [1]. In my talk, I will discuss the physics of the interaction and corresponding dynamics of a single or multiple Rydberg atoms in two internal electronic states embedded inside a BEC, to assess their utility for controlled studies of decoherence and quantum simulations of excitation transport similar to photosynthetic light-harvesting. We initially developed a theoretical framework to calculate the open quantum system input parameters for a single Rydberg atom, possibly in two internal states, in BEC and then for a chain of Rydberg atoms, forming an aggregate [2]. The electron-atom interactions lead to Rydberg-BEC coupling, creating phonons in the BEC. Using the spin-boson model with the calculated parameters, we then examine the decoherence and the Non-Markovian features of a Rydberg atom in a superposition, resulting from the interaction with the environment [3]. The scenario with a single Rydberg atom is then extended to the aggregate case, allowing us to set up dynamics similar to those found in light-harvesting complexes. Ref:1. J. B.
