We present the first theoretical treatment of the formation of highly excited neutral H atoms (H$^{*}$) for strongly driven H$_{2}$. This process, with one electron ionizing and one captured in a Rydberg state, was recently reported in an experimental study in Phys. Rev. Lett {bf 102} 113002 (2009). We show that two mechanisms underlie this process: a non-sequential one resembling non-sequential double ionization, and a sequential one resembling double ionization through enhanced ionization. We also predict a new feature, asymmetric energy sharing between H$^{*}$ and H$^{+}$ with increasing intensity. This feature is a striking demonstration of the influence the electron has on the nuclear motion.

Alkaline-earth-like~(AEL) atoms with two valence electrons and a nonzero nuclear spin can be excited to Rydberg state for quantum computing. Typical AEL ground states possess no hyperfine splitting, but unfortunately a GHz-scale splitting seems neces sary for Rydberg excitation. Though strong magnetic fields can induce a GHz-scale splitting, weak fields are desirable to avoid noise in experiments. Here, we provide two solutions to this outstanding challenge with realistic data of well-studied AEL isotopes. In the first theory, the two nuclear spin qubit states $|0rangle$ and $|1rangle$ are excited to Rydberg states $|rrangle$ with detuning $Delta$ and 0, respectively, where a MHz-scale detuning $Delta$ arises from a weak magnetic field on the order of 1~G. With a proper ratio between $Delta$ and $Omega$, the qubit state $|1rangle$ can be fully excited to the Rydberg state while $|0rangle$ remains there. In the second theory, we show that by choosing appropriate intermediate states a two-photon Rydberg excitation can proceed with only one nuclear spin qubit state. The second theory is applicable whatever the magnitude of the magnetic field is. These theories bring a versatile means for quantum computation by combining the broad applicability of Rydberg blockade and the incomparable advantages of nuclear-spin quantum memory in two-electron neutral atoms.
We present a theoretical quasiclassical study of the formation, during Coulomb explosion, of two highly excited neutral H atoms (double H$^{*}$) of strongly driven H$_2$. In this process, after the laser field is turned off each electron occupies a R ydberg state of an H atom. We show that two-electron effects are important in order to correctly account for double H$^{*}$ formation. We find that the route to forming two H$^{*}$ atoms is similar to pathway B that was identified in Phys. Rev. A {bf 85} 011402 (R) as one of the two routes leading to single H$^{*}$ formation. However, instead of one ionization step being frustrated as is the case for pathway B, both ionization steps are frustrated in double H$^{*}$ formation. Moreover, we compute the screened nuclear charge that drives the explosion of the nuclei during double H$^{*}$ formation.
Pulsed field ionization of high-$n$ (90 $leq n leq$ 150) manifold states in Rb Rydberg atoms has been investigated in high slew-rate regime. Two peaks in the field ionization spectra were systematically observed for the investigated $n$ region, where the field values at the lower peak do not almost depend on the excitation energy in the manifold, while those at the higher peak increase with increasing excitation energy. The fraction of the higher peak component to the total ionization signals increases with increasing $n$, exceeding 80% at $n$ = 147. Characteristic behavior of the peak component and the comparison with theoretical predictions indicate that the higher peak component is due to the tunneling process. The obtained results show for the first time that the tunneling process plays increasingly the dominant role at such highly excited nonhydrogenic Rydberg atoms.

We investigate cooperative fluorescence in a dilute cloud of strongly driven two-level emitters. Starting from the Heisenberg equations of motion, we compute the first-order scattering corrections to the saturation of the excited-state population and to the resonance-fluorescence spectrum, which both require going beyond the state-of-the-art linear-optics approach to describe collective phenomena. A dipole blockade is observed due to long range dipole-dipole coupling that vanishes at stronger driving fields. Furthermore, we compute the inelastic component of the light scattered by a cloud of many atoms and find that the Mollow triplet is affected by cooperativity. In a lobe around the forward direction, the inelastic Mollow triplet develops a spectral asymmetry, observable under experimental conditions.

The critical nuclear charge Zc required for a heliumlike atom to have at least one bound state was recently determined with high accuracy from variational calculations. Analysis of the wave functions further suggested that the bound state changes smo othly into a shape resonance as Z crosses the critical value. Using variational calculations combined with the complex coordinate rotation method, we study the energy and width of the resonance for Z textless{} Zc, thus providing direct evidence of the validity of this hypothesis. The variation of the resonance width with Z is found to be in good agreement with a model derived from analysis of the 1/Z perturbation series.
