Optical nonlinearity in a strongly interacting Rydberg atom ensemble
Lu Qin, Zeyun Shi, Xingdong Zhao +2
Rydberg atoms, characterized by their giant polarizability and strong long-range interactions, provide an ideal platform for exploring optical nonlinearities. By coupling light to…

Shock wave generation and propagation in dissipative and nonlocal nonlinear Rydberg media
Lu Qin, Chao Hang, Guoxiang Huang +1
We investigate the generation of optical shock waves in strongly interacting Rydberg atomic gases with a spatially homogeneous dissipative potential. The Rydberg atom interaction i…
