High-lying Rydberg atoms and molecules exhibit unusually long-range interactions, and the strongly enhanced interaction between Rydberg particles makes them unique for a variety of applications, ranging from quantum optics to chemistry [1]. Recent studies revealed that such high-lying Rydberg particles can be formed through electron trapping in strong field interaction with atoms and molecules [2, 3, 4]. In this submission, we report on imaging of high-lying Rydberg electron wave packets populated in such interactions.High-lying Rydberg atoms and molecules exhibit unusually long-range interactions, and the strongly enhanced interaction between Rydberg particles makes them unique for a variety of applications, ranging from quantum optics to chemistry [1].

Long-range potentials and ( n − 1 ) d + n s molecular resonances in an ultracold Rydberg gas

We have calculated long-range molecular potentials of the ${0}_{g}^{+}$ , ${0}_{u}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, and ${1}_{u}$ symmetries between highly excited rubidium atoms. Strong $np+np$ potentials characterized by these symmetries are important in describing interaction-induced phenomena in the excitation spectra of high $np$ Rydberg states. Long-range molecular resonances are one such phenomenon and they were first reported in S. M. Farooqi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 183002 (2003). One class of these resonances occurs at energies corresponding to excited atom pairs $(n\ensuremath{-}1)d+ns$. Such resonances are attributed to $\mathcal{l}$ -mixing due to Rydberg-Rydberg interactions so that otherwise forbidden molecular transitions become allowed. We calculate molecular potentials in Hund's case (c), use them to find the resonance line shape, and compare to experimental results.We have calculated long-range molecular potentials of the ${0}_{g}^{+}$, ${0}_{u}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, and ${1}_{u}$ symmetries between highly excited rubidium atoms.

One class of these resonances occurs at energies corresponding to excited atom pairs $(n\ensuremath{-}1)d+ns$. Such resonances are attributed to
