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…

Storage and control of optical photons using Rydberg polaritons

D. Maxwell, D. J. Szwer, D. P. Barato +6

We use a microwave field to control the quantum state of optical photons stored in a cold atomic cloud. The photons are stored in highly excited collective states (Rydberg polarito…

Non-linear optics using cold Rydberg atoms

J. D. Pritchard, K. J. Weatherill, C. S. Adams

The implementation of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a cold Rydberg gas provides an attractive route towards strong photon--photon interactions and fully determi…

Cooperative atom-light interaction in a blockaded Rydberg ensemble

J. D. Pritchard, D. Maxwell, A. Gauguet +3

By coupling a probe transition to a Rydberg state using electro-magnetically induced transparency (EIT) we map the strong dipole-dipole interactions onto an optical field. We chara…

Cooperative optical non-linearity due to dipolar interactions in an ultra-cold Rydberg ensemble

J. D. Pritchard, A. Gauguet, K. J. Weatherill +2

We demonstrate a cooperative optical non-linearity caused by dipolar interactions between Rydberg atoms in an ultra-cold atomic ensemble. By coupling a probe transition to the Rydb…

Narrow absorptive resonances in a four-level atomic system

M. G. Bason, A. K. Mohapatra, K. J. Weatherill +1

We study the effect of a control beam on a Lambda electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) system in 87Rb. The control beam couples one ground state to another excited state…
