Homodyne tomography of a single photon retrieved on demand from a cavity-enhanced cold atom memory
Erwan Bimbard, Rajiv Boddeda, Nicolas Vitrant +5
We experimentally demonstrate that a non-classical state prepared in an atomic memory can be efficiently transferred to a single mode of free-propagating light. By retrieving on de…
Dispersive optical nonlinearities in an EIT-Rydberg medium
Jovica Stanojevic, Valentina Parigi, Erwan Bimbard +2
We investigate dispersive optical nonlinearities that arise from Rydberg excitation blockade in cold Rydberg gases. We consider a two-photon transition scheme and study the non-lin…
Observation and measurement of "giant" dispersive optical non-linearities in an ensemble of cold Rydberg atoms
Valentina Parigi, Erwan Bimbard, Jovica Stanojevic +5
We observe and measure dispersive optical non-linearities in an ensemble of cold Rydberg atoms placed inside an optical cavity. The experimental results are in agreement with a sim…
Generating non-Gaussian states using collisions between Rydberg polaritons
Jovica Stanojevic, Valentina Parigi, Erwan Bimbard +3
We investigate theoretically the deterministic generation of quantum states with negative Wigner functions, by using giant non-linearities due to collisional interactions between R…
Controlling the quantum state of a single photon emitted from a single polariton
Jovica Stanojevic, Valentina Parigi, Erwan Bimbard +3
We investigate in detail the optimal conditions for a high fidelity transfer from a single-polariton state to a single-photon state and subsequent homodyne detection of the single…
Formation of Rydberg macrodimers and their properties
Nolan Samboy, Jovica Stanojevic, Robin Côté
We investigate the interaction between two rubidium atoms in highly excited Rydberg states, and find that very long-range potential wells exist. These wells are shown to support ma…
