Investigation of dephasing rates in an interacting Rydberg gas
Investigation of dephasing rates in an interacting Rydberg gas
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the dephasing rates of the coherent evolution of a resonantly driven pseudo spin emersed in a reservoir of pseudo spins. The pseudo spin is realized by optically exciting 87Rb atoms into a Rydberg state. Hence, the upper spin states are coupled via the strong van …
