Under many circumstances, the only important two-body interaction between atoms in ultracold dilute atomic vapors is the short-ranged isotropic s-wave collision. Recent studies have shown, however, that situations may arise where the…

F\"orster resonances provide a highly flexible tool to tune both the strength and the angular shape of interactions between two Rydberg atoms. We give a detailed explanation about how F\"orster resonances can be found by searching through a…
In the envelope-function approximation, interband transitions produced by electric fields are neglected. However, electric fields may lead to a spatially local ($k$-independent) coupling of band (internal, pseudospin) degrees of freedom.…
