Storing single photons emitted by a quantum memory on a highly excited Rydberg state
Emanuele Distante, Pau Farrera, Auxiliadora Padrón-Brito +3
Strong interaction between two single photons is a long standing and important goal in quantum photonics. This would enable a new regime of nonlinear optics and unlock several appl…
Storage enhanced nonlinearities in a cold atomic Rydberg ensemble
Emanuele Distante, Auxiliadora Padrón-Brito, Matteo Cristiani +2
The combination of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) with the nonlinear interaction between Rydberg atoms provides an effective interaction between photons. In this pa…
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…
