Rydberg-induced optical nonlinearities from a cold atomic ensemble trapped inside a cavity
Rajiv Boddeda, Imam Usmani, Erwan Bimbard +4
We experimentally characterize the optical nonlinear response of a cold atomic medium placed inside an optical cavity, and excited to Rydberg states. The excitation to S and D Rydb…
Quantum statistics of light transmitted through an intracavity Rydberg medium
A. Grankin, E. Brion, E. Bimbard +4
We theoretically investigate the quantum statistical properties of light transmitted through an atomic medium with strong optical non-linearity induced by Rydberg-Rydberg van der W…
Homodyne tomography of a single photon retrieved on demand from a cavity-enhanced cold atom memory
Erwan Bimbard, Rajiv Boddeda, Nicolas Vitrant +5
We experimentally demonstrate that a non-classical state prepared in an atomic memory can be efficiently transferred to a single mode of free-propagating light. By retrieving on de…
Dispersive optical nonlinearities in an EIT-Rydberg medium
Jovica Stanojevic, Valentina Parigi, Erwan Bimbard +2
We investigate dispersive optical nonlinearities that arise from Rydberg excitation blockade in cold Rydberg gases. We consider a two-photon transition scheme and study the non-lin…
Generating non-Gaussian states using collisions between Rydberg polaritons
Jovica Stanojevic, Valentina Parigi, Erwan Bimbard +3
We investigate theoretically the deterministic generation of quantum states with negative Wigner functions, by using giant non-linearities due to collisional interactions between R…
Controlling the quantum state of a single photon emitted from a single polariton
Jovica Stanojevic, Valentina Parigi, Erwan Bimbard +3
We investigate in detail the optimal conditions for a high fidelity transfer from a single-polariton state to a single-photon state and subsequent homodyne detection of the single…
A bridge between the single-photon and squeezed-vacuum state
Nitin Jain, S. R. Huisman, Erwan Bimbard +1
The two modes of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen quadrature entangled state generated by parametric down-conversion interfere on a beam splitter of variable splitting ratio. Detection…
