Abstract

The use of optical lattice in atomics sample became possible to create initial systems that present a high degree of organization, that is," atomic crystaliine lattice without defects. In this project we consider to imprison Rydberg atoms of Rubídio in a optical lattice and to study the formation of "trilobits" molecules and the colision supression between Rydberg atoms. (AU)
