Simulation of many-body dynamics using Rydberg excitons
Jacob Taylor, Sumit Goswami, Valentin Walther +3
The recent observation of high-lying Rydberg states of excitons in semiconductors with relatively high binding energy motivates exploring their applications in quantum nonlinear op…
Self-bound droplet clusters in laser-driven Bose-Einstein condensates
Yong-Chang Zhang, Valentin Walther, Thomas Pohl
We investigate a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate that is optically driven via a retro-reflecting mirror, forming a single optical feedback loop. This induces a peculiar ty…
Asymmetric Rydberg blockade of giant excitons in Cuprous Oxide
Julian Heckötter, Valentin Walther, Stefan Scheel +3
The ability to generate and control strong long-range interactions via highly excited electronic states has been the foundation for recent breakthroughs in a host of areas, from at…
Electromagnetically induced transparency with CuO excitons in the presence of phonon coupling
Valentin Walther, Peter Grünwald, Thomas Pohl
Highly excited Rydberg states of excitons in CuO semiconductors provide a promising approach to explore and control strong particle interactions in a solid-state environment. A…
Plasma-enhanced interaction and optical nonlinearities of CuO Rydberg excitons
Valentin Walther, Thomas Pohl
We theoretically investigate the nonlinear optical transmission through a cuprous oxide crystal for wavelengths that cover the series of highly excited excitons, observed in recent…
Enhanced nonlinear interaction of polaritons via excitonic Rydberg states in monolayer WSe2
Jie Gu, Valentin Walther, Lutz Waldecker +7
Strong optical nonlinearities play a central role in realizing quantum photonic technologies. In solid state systems, exciton-polaritons, which result from the hybridization of mat…
