We report on our recent studies on ion-Rydberg atom interactions performed in the ultra-cold quantum regime using a high-resolution ion microscope. This apparatus provides temporal and spatial imaging of charged particles with a resolution of 200 nm.

Ion-Rydberg atom pair-states on the one hand allow for the observation of collisional dynamics on steep attractive potential energy curves. Avoided crossings with high-l states can cause significant speed up in the dynamics which is dependent on the individual Landau-Zener probabilities. On the other hand, the avoided crossings also lead to potential wells that give rise to bound molecular states. These bound states between an ion and a Rydberg atom feature large bond length, which enable the direct observation of vibrational dynamics. In an effort to further understand the binding mechanism of the Ion-Rydberg atom molecule their lifetime is currently under investigation.
