Ultralong-range energy transfer by interatomic Coulombic decay in an extreme quantum system

Interatomic Coulombic decay is a recently discovered ionization process by which energy absorbed from incident radiation by one atom is rapidly transferred to another. A study of this process in helium now shows that it can operate over remarkably long distances of more than 45 atomic radii.
