• Abstract summary: The electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect and strong electric dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) among the Rydberg-state atoms can lead to important applications in quantum information processing and many-body physics. One can utilize the Rydberg-EIT system in the strongly-interacting regime to mediate photon-photon interaction or qubit-qubit operation. This work provides a very useful tool for conceiving ideas relevant to the EIT system of weakly-interacting Rydberg polaritons.

• Abstract: The combination of high optical nonlinearity in the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect and strong electric dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) among the Rydberg-state atoms can lead to important applications in quantum information processing and many-body physics. One can utilize the Rydberg-EIT system in the strongly-interacting regime to mediate photon-photon interaction or qubit-qubit operation. One can also employ the Rydberg-EIT system in the weaklyinteracting regime to study the Bose-Einstein condensation of Rydberg polaritons. Most of the present theoretical models dealt with the strongly-interacting cases. Here, we consider the weaklyinteracting regime and develop a mean field model based on the nearest-neighbor distribution. Using the mean field model, we further derive the analytical formulas for the attenuation coefficient and phase shift of the output probe field. The predictions from the formulas are consistent with the experimental data in the weakly-interacting regime, verifying the validity of our model. As the DDI-induced phase shift and attenuation can be seen as the consequences of elastic and inelastic collisions among particles, this work provides a very useful tool for conceiving ideas relevant to the EIT system of weakly-interacting Rydberg polaritons, and for evaluating experimental feasibility.

  We study a dense ensemble illuminated by a strong coherent drive while interacting via dipole-dipole interactions. Although the steady-state features some similarities to the reported superradiant to normal non-induced transition, we observe significant qualitative and quantitative differences. We develop a simple theoretical model that explains the scaling properties by accounting for interaction-equilibrium inhomogeneous effects and spontaneous emission.

NIIP assigns low energy to the subset of trajectories which respect the relational constraints observed. It allows trajectory manipulation, such as interchanging interaction types across separately trained models, as well as trajectory forecasting.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

  Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a phenomenon that can provide strong and robust interfacing between optical signals and quantum coherence of electronic spins. We show that EIT can be established with high visibility also in this material platform upon careful design of the measurement geometry. Our work provides an understanding of EIT in multi-level systems with significant inhomogeneities, and our considerations are valid for a wide array of defects in semiconductors.

• A Weakly-Interacting Many-Body System of Rydberg Polaritons Based on Electromagnetically Induced Transparency [0.0]
  We experimentally verified the mean field approach to weakly-interacting Rydberg polaritons. The DDI-induced phase shift or attenuation can be viewed as a consequence of the elastic or in collisions among the Rydberg polaritons. The observations demonstrate that the elastic collisions are sufficient to drive the thermalization process in this weakly-interacting many-body system.
