A stationary Rydberg polariton
Annika Tebben, Clément Hainaut, Andre Salzinger +4
We propose a novel scheme for coupling a Rydberg state to a stationary light polariton, based on a dual-V level scheme. We investigate the properties of the resulting stationary Ry…
Nonlinear absorption in interacting Rydberg electromagnetically-induced-transparency spectra on two-photon resonance
Annika Tebben, Clément Hainaut, Andre Salzinger +6
We experimentally investigate the nonlinear transmission spectrum of coherent light fields propagating through a Rydberg EIT medium with strong atomic interactions. In contrast to…
Blockade-induced resonant enhancement of the optical nonlinearity in a Rydberg medium
Annika Tebben, Clément Hainaut, Valentin Walther +4
We predict a resonant enhancement of the nonlinear optical response of an interacting Rydberg gas under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. The enhancement orig…
Experimental realization of an ideal Floquet disordered system
Clément Hainaut, Adam Rançon, Jean-François Clément +5
The atomic Quantum Kicked Rotor is an outstanding "quantum simulator" for the exploration of transport in disordered quantum systems. Here we study experimentally the phase-shifted…
Experimental observation of time singularity in classical-to-quantum chaos transition
Clément Hainaut, Ping Fang, Adam Rançon +5
The emergence of chaotic phenomena in a quantum system has long been an elusive subject. Experimental progresses in this subject have become urgently needed in recent years, when c…
