Abstract
The ionization dynamics of two interacting Rydberg atoms in a strong laser field has been investigated. Each atom has been described in the “two discrete levels + continuum” model. Quasienergy states in this system, which describe field-dressed atoms, have been studied. It has been shown that one of the quasienergy states corresponds to the formation of an atomic state stable against ionization, which leads to the interference stabilization regime first observed in the case of individual atoms in [M. V. Fedorov and A. M. Movsesian, J. Phys. B 21, L155 (1988)]. Methods for creating entangled states in this system have been proposed and the dynamics of entanglement in the process of interaction with the laser field has been analyzed.
