This research utilizes Rydberg atoms to investigate the non-linear dynamics of impulsively driven systems, to study the control and manipulation of atomic wavefunctions, to probe ultra-low energy electron-molecule scattering, and to examine the behavior of atoms near a solid surface. Advantage will be taken of the fact that the excited electron in the Rydberg atom is in an orbit very far removed from the nucleus; thus its behavior is strongly affected by weak external perturbations.

本研究利用里德伯原子来研究脉冲驱动系统的非线性动力学，研究原子波函数的控制和操纵，探测超低能电子-分子散射，并研究固体表面附近原子的行为。里德伯原子中受激发的电子处在离原子核很远的轨道上，这一事实将被利用；因此，它的行为受到微弱的外部扰动的强烈影响。
