Microwave control of the interaction between two optical photons
D. Maxwell, D. J. Szwer, D. P. Barato +5
A microwave field is used to control the interaction between pairs of optical photons stored in highly excited collective states (Rydberg polaritons). We show that strong dipole-di…
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…
Fractional photon-assisted tunnelling of ultra-cold atoms in periodically shaken double-well lattices
Martin Esmann, Jonathan D. Pritchard, Christoph Weiss
Fractional photon-assisted tunnelling is investigated both numerically and analytically in a double-well lattice. While integer photon-assisted tunnelling is a single-particle effe…
Correlated photon emission from multi--atom Rydberg dark states
J. D. Pritchard, C. S. Adams, K. Mølmer
We consider three level atoms driven by two resonant light fields in a ladder scheme where the upper level is a highly excited Rydberg state. We show that the dipole--dipole intera…
Optical non-linearity in a dynamical Rydberg gas
J D Pritchard, A Gauguet, K J Weatherill +1
We use the technique of electro-magnetically induced transparency (EIT) to probe the effect of attractive dipole-dipole interactions in a highly excited Rydberg gas. The transient…
