A universal ionization threshold for strongly driven Rydberg states

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We observe a universal ionization threshold for microwave driven one-electron Rydberg states of H, Li, Na, and Rb, in an {\em ab initio} numerical treatment without adjustable parameters. This sheds new light on old experimental data, and widens the scene for Anderson localization in light matter interaction.
