The Robustness of a Collectively Encoded Rydberg Qubit

Nicholas L. R. Spong, Yuechun Jiao, Oliver D. W. Hughes +3

We demonstrate a collectively-encoded qubit based on a single Rydberg excitation stored in an ensemble of entangled atoms. Qubit rotations are performed by applying microwave f…

Single-Photon Stored-Light Interferometry

Yuechun Jiao, Nicholas L. R. Spong, Oliver D. W. Hughes +4

We demonstrate a single-photon stored-light interferometer, where a photon is stored in a laser-cooled atomic ensemble in the form of a Rydberg polariton with a spatial extent of $…

Photon correlation transients in a weakly blockaded Rydberg ensemble

Charles Möhl, Nicholas L. R. Spong, Yuechun Jiao +4

The non-linear and non-local effects in atomic Rydberg media under electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) make it a versatile platform for fundamental studies and applicati…

Measuring the Faraday effect in olive oil using permanent magnets and Malus' law

Daniel L. Carr, Nicholas L. R. Spong, Ifan G. Hughes +1

We present a simple permanent magnet set-up that can be used to measure the Faraday effect in gases, liquids and solids. By fitting the transmission curve as a function of polarize…

Zeeman-tunable Modulation Transfer Spectroscopy

Chloe So, Nicholas L. R. Spong, Charles Möhl +3

Active frequency stabilization of a laser to an atomic or molecular resonance underpins many modern-day AMO physics experiments. With a flat background and high signal-to-noise rat…

Collective Mode Interferences in Light--Matter Interactions

Robert J. Bettles, Teodora Ilieva, Hannes Busche +4

We present a theoretical and experimental analysis of transient optical properties of a dense cold atomic gas. After the rapid extinction of a weak coherent driving field (mean pho…
