After trapping atoms, exciting them to an initial high-energy Rydberg state, and allowing them a brief time to exchange energy with each other through dipole-dipole interactions, we observe how their energies are redistributed...
We simulate the dynamics of Rydberg atoms resonantly exchanging energy via two-, three-, and four-body dipole-dipole interactions in a one-dimensional array. Using simplified models of a realistic experimental system, we study...
