Contamination at the quantum level

For the first time an unwanted effect when trying to manipulate Rb atoms has been discovered. The interested in Rb for cold atoms experiments is well known, not only because it is a hydrogen-like atom but also due to its Rydberg physics. When manipulating these atoms under strong interactions, an anomalous behaviour has been found. The questions is whether could be a drawback for the implementation of a future quantum computer based on Rydberg atoms or not.
