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

(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

I'm writing up a report about 21cm-line radio astronomy, and it includes a discussion of spectral lines and the 21cm line in particular.<BR><BR>However, I have a problem that I was hoping the genius ...

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 ...

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 ...
