Online Seminar #4: Quantum nonlinear optics based on 2D Rydberg Atom Array

Daniel Gonçalves (ICFO) We explore the combination of sub-wavelength, two-dimensional atomic arrays andRydberg interactions as a powerful platform to realize strong, coherent interactionsbetween individual photons with high fidelity. In particular, the spatial ordering of theatoms guarantees efficient atom-light interactions without the possibility of scatteringlight into unwanted directions, for example, allowing the array to act as…
