Unravelling the Structures in the van der Waals Interactions of Alkali Rydberg Atoms
Karen Wadenpfuhl, C. Stuart Adams
Rydberg atoms are used in a wide range of applications due to their peculiar properties like strong dipolar and van der Waals interactions. The choice of Rydberg state has a huge i…
Direction switchable single-photon emitter using a Rydberg polariton
Changcheng Li, Xiao-Feng Shi, Yuechun Jiao +5
All-optical redirection or routing of single photons is essential for quantum networks. Although studied in various systems both in theory and experiment, the redirection of single…
Suppression of motional dephasing using state mapping
Yuechun Jiao, Changcheng Li, XiaoFeng Shi +5
Rydberg-mediated quantum optics is a useful route toward deterministic quantum information processing based on single photons and quantum networks, but is bottlenecked by the fast…
Single photonic qutrit in a collective Rydberg polariton
Yuechun Jiao, Oliver D. W. Hughes, Max Z. Festenstein +5
We report on the coherent creation, control and read-out of a single photonic qutrit in a Rydberg ensemble. In each measurement, an optical photon is stored as a Rydberg polariton…
Many-body nonequilibrium dynamics in a self-induced Floquet system
Yuechun Jiao, Yu Zhang, Jingxu Bai +5
Floquet systems are periodically driven systems. In this framework, the system Hamiltonian and associated spectra of interest are modified, giving rise to new quantum phases of mat…
