| Nov 4, 2014 at 19:13 | comment | added | Asaf | Highly excited atoms are called Rydberg atoms. They are current hot topic in research but one of the main challenges of reaching arbitrarily high values of $n$ is the fact that the polarizability scales as $n^7$ so the most minute variation in electric field would produce a very large force on the atom. | |
