Time Dependence of Few-Body Förster Interactions among Ultracold Rydberg Atoms.

Rubidium Rydberg atoms in either |m_{j}| sublevel of the 36p_{3/2} state can exchange energy via Stark-tuned Förster resonances, including two-, three-, and four-body dipole-dipole interactions. Three-body interactions of this type were first reported and categorized by Faoro et al. [Nat.
