Analysis of circular wave packets generated by pulsed electric fields.
This physics study analyzes circular wave packets in high Rydberg states produced by applying a pulsed electric field to extreme Stark states. It reports a position-dependent energy gradient that creates a correlation between principal quantum number and spatial coordinate, which appears insensitive to the initial state and observable even in incoherent state mixtures. The authors also describe extracting spatial distribution details by analyzing the complex phase of wave-packet expansion coefficients.
Key points
- Circular wave packets are generated using a pulsed electric field applied to extreme Stark states.
- The wave packets are characterized by a position-dependent energy gradient.

- The reported correlation is described as relatively insensitive to the initial state.
- The correlation is stated to be observable even in an incoherent mix of states generated experimentally.
- Spatial distribution information is reported to be extractable from the complex phase of expansion coefficients.
