Eiles, Tilman Pfau, and Florian Meinert Laser cooling and trapping of atomic matter waves in optical potentials has enabled rapid progress in quantum science, particularly when combined with Rydberg excitation of the atoms to induce long-range interactions. Here, we propose the local manipulation and spatiotemporal sculpting of the electr… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 013401] Published Wed Jul 01, 2026
