Wave propagation across interfaces induced by different interaction exponents in ordered and disordered Hertz-like granular chains

We study solitary wave propagation in 1D granular crystals with Hertz-like interaction potentials. We consider interfaces between media with different exponents in the interaction potential. For an interface with increasing interaction potential …

Interaction Enhanced Imaging of Rydberg P states - Preparation and detection of Rydberg atoms for engineering long-range interactions

The Interaction Enhanced Imaging technique allows to detect the spatial distribution of strongly interacting impurities embedded within a gas of background atoms used as a contrast medium. Here we present a detailed study of this technique, applied …
