TL;DR: This property together with the enormous strength of the Rydberg-induced nonlinearities is shown to yield a unique laboratory platform for nonlinear wave phenomena, such as collapse-arrested modulational instabilities in a self-defocusing medium.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ the concept of a dynamical, activity order parameter to study the Ising model in a transverse magnetic field coupled to a Markovian bath, and demonstrate that dynamical phase coexistence becomes manifest in an intermittent behavior of the bath quanta emission.

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient Monte Carlo approach was developed to describe the optical response of cold three-level atoms in the presence of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and strong atomic interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of strong dipole-dipole interactions on three-level interference phenomena such as coherent population trapping and electromagnetically induced transparency are considered.

TL;DR: The laser excitation of Rydberg atoms in ultracold gases is often described assuming that the atomic motion is frozen during the excitation time, but it is shown that this frozen gas approximation can break down for atoms that are held in optical lattices or microtraps.
