In the framework of quantum electrodynamics, the internal dynamics of a Rydberg atom in front of a surface are investigated in fourth order perturbation theory. For a pair of Rb Rydberg atoms in front of a perfectly conducting surface, a bound state with micrometer bond length, a Rydberg macrodimer, is predicted for a small window of surface distance. This leads to the possibility to use surface properties to actively tune interactions.", school="Universit{\"a}t Rostock", note="vorgelegt von Johannes Block", note="GutachterInnen: Stefan Scheel (Institut f{\"u}r Physik, Universit{\"a}t Rostock) ; Stefan Yoshi Buhmann (Institut f{\"u}r Physik, Universit{\"a}t Kassel)", note="Dissertation Universit{\"a}t Rostock 2022", doi="10.18453/rosdok_id00003717", url="http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00003717", url="https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00003717-6", url="https://d-nb.info/1293537705/34", url="https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00003717", language="English" }
