Zeros of Rydberg-Rydberg Foster Interactions
Abstract
Rydberg states of atoms are of great current interest for quantum manipulation of mesoscopic samples of atoms. Long-range Rydberg-Rydberg interactions can inhibit multiple excitations of atoms under the appropriate conditions. These interactions are strongest when resonant collisional processes give rise to long-range C3/R3 interactions. We show in this paper that even under resonant conditions C3 often vanishes so that care is required to realize full dipole blockade in micron-sized atom samples.
