Dipolar exchange in interacting Rydberg gases — •Miguel Ferreira-Cao, Georg Günter, Hanna Schempp, María M. Valado, Vladislav Gavryusev, Gerhard Zürn, Shannon Whitlock, and Matthias Weidemüller — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 226, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany

Dipolar exchange interactions play an important role in diverse systems ranging from polar molecules to molecular aggregates, light-harvesting complexes or quantum dots [1]. Ultracold Rydberg atoms offer an ideal system to study dipolar energy transport under the influence of a controlled environment [2].

We have performed measurements of microwave driven Rabi oscillations between Rydberg states with angular momentum state s and p in which interactions lead to reduced contrast for high Rydberg densities. This system constitutes a realization of a XY spin model with long-range and anisotropic spin-spin interactions [3,4]. The build-up of correlated phases of the spin distribution is an important aspect under investigation. Applying tomographic methods, future measurements can reveal the time-dependent properties of the many-body state.
