Complexity Function of Jammed Configurations of Rydberg Atoms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article, we determine the complexity function (configurational entropy) of jammed configurations of Rydberg atoms on a one-dimensional lattice. Our method consists of providing asymptotics for the number of jammed configurations determined by direct combinatorial reasoning. In this way we reduce the computation of complexity to solving a constrained optimization problem for the Shannon's entropy function. We show that the complexity can be expressed explicitly in terms of the root of a certain polynomial of degree b, where b is the so-called blockade range of a Rydberg atom. Our results are put in a relation with the model of irreversible deposition of k-mers on a one-dimensional lattice.
