Coherence and decay of Rydberg wave Packets
Abstract
Calculations are presented that show the response of an atom to a picosecond laser pulse which resonantly excites a manifold of Rydberg states. The coherent atomic state that is produced is of the form of a spatially localized wave packet. The motion, decay, and reformation of the wave packet are described and related to the complicated quantum beat pattern that appears in the subsequent spontaneous decay.

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.
