Spatial correlations of photons interacting via transverse Rydberg blockade
Bankim Chandra Das, Daniil Svirskiy, Matthias Metternich +3
We develop a theory of the transverse spatial dynamics of two interacting photons in a Rydberg nonlinear medium. Extending the well-studied one-dimensional case, we explore both lo…

Entanglement of mechanical oscillators mediated by a Rydberg tweezer chain
Cedric Wind, Chris Nill, Julia Gamper +5
Mechanical systems provide a unique test bed for studying quantum phenomena at macroscopic length scales. However, realizing quantum states that feature quantum correlations among…

Magic running- and standing-wave optical traps for Rydberg atoms
Lukas Ahlheit, Chris Nill, Daniil Svirskiy +6
Magic trapping of ground and Rydberg states, which equalizes the AC Stark shifts of these two levels, enables increased ground-to-Rydberg state coherence times. We measure via phot…
