The coherent interaction between ensembles of helium Rydberg atoms and microwave fields in the vicinity of a solid-state co-planar waveguide is reported. Rydberg-Rydberg transitions, at frequencies between 25 GHz and 38 GHz, have been…
Tunnel ionization rates of triplet Rydberg states in helium with principal quantum numbers close to 37 have been measured in electric fields at the classical ionization threshold of $\sim197$ V/cm. The measurements were performed in the…
The visible spectrum of H3+ is studied using high-sensitivity action spectroscopy in a cryogenic radiofrequency multipole trap. Advances are made to measure the weak ro-vibrational transitions from the lowest rotational states of H3+ up to…
In this work, Rydberg energy levels of the triatomic hydrogen molecule ($\rm{H_3}$) are studied with multichannel quantum-defect theory. We extract the body-frame p-wave quantum defects from highly accurate \emph{ab initio} electronic…
We report on the observation of two vibrational series of pure trilobite rubidium Rydberg molecules. They are created via three-photon photoassociation and lie energetically more than 15 GHz below the atomic 22$F$ state of rubidium. In…
The theoretical treatment of Rydberg states in one-electron ions is facilitated by the virtual absence of the nuclear-size correction, and fundamental constants like the Rydberg constant may be in the reach of planned high-precision…
Dipole-dipole interactions between helium atoms in Rydberg-Stark states with principal quantum number $n=53$ and approximately linear Stark energy shifts, resulting from induced electric dipole moments of approximately 7900 D, have been…
We consider the role of high-lying Rydberg states of simple atomic systems such as $^1$H in setting constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model. We obtain highly accurate bound states energies for a hydrogen atom in the presence of an…
H$_3^{2+}$ is a one-electron system with three positive nuclei and is known to be unstable in its electronic ground-state. We examine an analogous one-electron system composed of a $^{87}$Rb Rydberg atom interacting with a pair of cations…
In this work, we precisely measure the transition energies between the Rydberg state n$\text{D}_{5/2}$ to the nearby Rydberg states $(\e{n}+2)\text{P}_{3/2}$, $(\e{n}-2)\text{F}_{7/2}$ for the range $41\leq \e{n}\leq46$. This was done by…
The production of very-high-$n$, $n\sim300$-500, strontium Rydberg atoms is explored using a crossed laser-atom beam geometry. $n$$^{1}$S$_{0}$ and $n$$^{1}$D$_{2}$ states are created by two-photon excitation via the 5s5p $^{1}$P$_{1}$…
A spectroscopic study of Rydberg states of helium ($n$ = 30 and 45) in magnetic, electric and combined magnetic and electric fields with arbitrary relative orientations of the field vectors is presented. The emphasis is on two special cases…
Recent measurements of the ionization energies of the Rydberg $^1P$ states of helium for principal quantum number $n = 24$ and higher present a new challenge to theoretical atomic physics. A long-standing obstacle to high precision atomic…
Circular Rydberg states with $n=70$ have been prepared in helium using a modified version of the crossed-fields method. This approach to the preparation of high-$n$ circular Rydberg states overcomes limitations of the standard…
High Rydberg states of nitric oxide (NO) with principal quantum numbers between 40 and 100 and lifetimes in excess of 10 $\mu$s have been prepared by resonance enhanced two-color two-photon laser excitation from the X $^2\Pi_{1/2}$ ground…
Rydberg states of atoms are of great current interest for quantum manipulation of mesoscopic samples of atoms. Long-range Rydberg-Rydberg interactions can inhibit multiple excitations of atoms under the appropriate conditions. These…
Helium atoms have been prepared in the circular $|n=55,\ell=54,m_{\ell}=+54\rangle$ Rydberg state using the crossed electric and magnetic fields method. The atoms, initially travelling in pulsed supersonic beams, were photoexcited from the…
Rydberg molecules, often exemplified by long-range "trilobite" molecules, are a subject of much recent interest at high principal quantum number $n$. States that use the same bonding mechanism can exist at much lower $n$ and less-extreme…
The nature of the theory of circular Rydberg states of hydrogenlike ions allows highly-accurate predictions to be made for energy levels. In particular, uncertainties arising from the problematic nuclear size correction which beset low…
We report on the observation of highly excited ($\nu \sim 100)$ vibrational states of a trilobite ultralong-range Rydberg molecule in $^{87}$Rb. These states manifest spectroscopically in a regularly spaced series of peaks red-detuned from…
