Ordinary atoms are minuscule, but Rydberg atoms—created by nudging an atom’s outermost electron into a very high orbit—are ...

A team of researchers from the 5th Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart is making important progress in the field of quantum simulation and quantum computing based on Rydberg atoms by ...

(Nanowerk News) Rydberg states occur in a range of physical systems including atoms, molecules, and solids. In particular, Rydberg excitons, which are highly energetic electron-hole pairs, were first ...

The Rydberg state is widespread in a variety of physical platforms such as atoms, molecules, and solids. In particular, Rydberg excitons are highly excited Coulomb-bound states of electron–hole pairs, ...

Quantum computers of the future could operate via the energy transitions of excited atoms, or even from pure light, if a rapidly growing area of atomic physics continues to meet with success, writes ...

A newly discovered rare "Rydberg" molecule has upheld the scientific theory predicting the molecule existed. Chemists used a gas of rubidium atoms cooled to a temperature of 3 millionths of a degree ...

Our successful long-range signal reception with a Rydberg sensor represents a significant milestone for the technology and the advent of Rydberg atomic radio.” — David A. Anderson, Ph.D., CEO of ...

Direct measurement By monitoring how giant Rydberg atoms interact with heat in their environment, Noah Schlossberger and colleagues can measure temperature with remarkable accuracy. (Courtesy: R ...
