Coordination Funds

SPP GiRyd的核心元素是利用里德伯原子之间强而可控的相互作用性质，在实验和理论原子，分子和光学物理以及半导体和多体物理中。里德伯物理学的新兴领域正在弥合这些领域之间的差距，从这个意义上说，它是非常跨学科的。许多跨学科的方面出现，因为它现在可以调查涉及强相互作用的复合系统。这种广度在德国内得到了很好的代表，例如，在德国，已经在半导体材料中首次观察到了里德伯阻断，已经检测到了第一个里德伯分子，并且已经研究了第一个基于里德伯的单光子晶体管。在第一个资助期内，协调项目提供了一种手段，将所有研究里德伯物理的小组聚集在一起，从各自子领域的巨大知识中相互受益。这创造了一个全国性的网络，支持信息交流和新概念和方法的发展，这将推动德国成为这一领域的领导者。

The central element of SPP GiRyd is to exploit the strong and controllable interaction properties between Rydberg atoms in experimental and theoretical atomic, molecular and optical physics as well as semiconductor and many-body physics. The emerging field of Rydberg physics is bridging the gap between those fields and is in that sense very interdisciplinary. Many cross-disciplinary aspects arise, as it is now possible to investigate composite systems involving strong interactions. This breadth is well represented within Germany, where e.g. the Rydberg blockade has first been observed in semiconductor materials, the first Rydberg molecules have been detected and the first Rydberg based single photon transistor has been investigated. In the first funding period the coordination project provided the means to bring all groups working on Rydberg physics together to benefit mutually from the tremendous knowledge in their respective subfields. This created a national network, endorsing the exchange of information and the development of new concepts and methods, which will push Germany to become the leader of this field.
