Single photonic qutrit in a collective Rydberg polariton
Yuechun Jiao, Oliver D. W. Hughes, Max Z. Festenstein +5
We report on the coherent creation, control and read-out of a single photonic qutrit in a Rydberg ensemble. In each measurement, an optical photon is stored as a Rydberg polariton…

Unravelling the Structures in the van der Waals Interactions of Alkali Rydberg Atoms
Karen Wadenpfuhl, C. Stuart Adams
Rydberg atoms are used in a wide range of applications due to their peculiar properties like strong dipolar and van der Waals interactions. The choice of Rydberg state has a huge i…

Many-body nonequilibrium dynamics in a self-induced Floquet system
Yuechun Jiao, Yu Zhang, Jingxu Bai +5
Floquet systems are periodically driven systems. In this framework, the system Hamiltonian and associated spectra of interest are modified, giving rise to new quantum phases of mat…
