Strong Spin-Motion Coupling in the Ultrafast Dynamics of Rydberg Atoms
Strong Spin-Motion Coupling in the Ultrafast Dynamics of Rydberg Atoms
Rydberg atoms in optical lattices and tweezers is now a well-established platform for simulating quantum spin systems. However, the role of the atoms' spatial wave function has not been examined in detail experimentally. Here, we show a strong spin-motion coupling emerging from the large variation of the interaction potential over …
