Graph Coloring via Quantum Optimization on a Rydberg-Qudit Atom Array

Toonyawat Angkhanawin, Aydin Deger, Jonathan D. Pritchard +1

Neutral atom arrays have emerged as a versatile candidate for the embedding of hard classical optimization problems. Prior work has focused on mapping problems onto finding the max…

Nonlinear quantum optics mediated by Rydberg interactions

Ofer Firstenberg, Charles S. Adams, Sebastian Hofferberth

By mapping the strong interaction between Rydberg excitations in ultra-cold atomic ensembles onto single photons via electromagnetically induced transparency, it is now possible to…

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…

Fast and Quasideterministic Single Ion Source from a Dipole-Blockaded Atomic Ensemble

C. Ates, I. Lesanovsky, C. S. Adams +1

We present a fast and Quasideterministic protocol for the production of single ions and electrons from a cloud of laser cooled atoms. The approach is based on a two-step process wh…

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…
