Abstract

We present experimental and theoretical results on highly excited Rydberg atoms passing through a waveguide. The waveguide is excited in a coherent mode with a superimposed component of technically generated noise. In the theoretical part of the paper we derive and solve a master equation for a Rydberg atom driven by a monochromatic coherent microwave field in the presence of noise. We show that a Rydberg atom subjected to a mixture of coherent modes and noise fields exhibits four dynamical regimes: (i) diffusive broadening, (ii) localization, (iii) destruction of coherence and localization, and (iv) relaxation to equilibrium. The four regimes are passed one after the other as a function of irradiation time. They occur on different time scales and are thus temporally well separated from each other. The theory is checked by an experiment on the time dependence of the population distribution of highly excited rubidium Rydberg atoms initially prepared in a unique and well-defined Rydberg state and irradiated by a strong microwave field. The localization regime, characterized by a ``freezing'' of the width of the wave packet with respect to the Rydberg levels, has been observed. The addition of a small noise component was shown to lead to delocalization after times inversely proportional to the noise power, as predicted by our theory.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
