• Abstract summary: Rydberg blockade enables deterministic creation of single excitations via collective Rabi oscillation. We make use of a two-photon excitation scheme with an intermediate state off-resonant and sweep the laser frequency of one excitation laser. We find the chirped scheme preserves internal phases of the collective Rydberg excitation and be more robust against variance of laser intensity and frequency detuning.

• Abstract: In an atomic ensemble, quantum information is typically carried as single collective excitations. It is very advantageous if the creation of single excitations is efficient and robust. Rydberg blockade enables deterministic creation of single excitations via collective Rabi oscillation by precisely controlling the pulse area, being sensitive to many experimental parameters. In this paper, we implement the adiabatic rapid passage technique to the Rydberg excitation process in a mesoscopic atomic ensemble. We make use of a two-photon excitation scheme with an intermediate state off-resonant and sweep the laser frequency of one excitation laser. We find the chirped scheme preserves internal phases of the collective Rydberg excitation and be more robust against variance of laser intensity and frequency detuning.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We propose a protocol for the amplified detection of low-intensity terahertz radiation using Rydberg tweezer arrays. During a sensing phase, it harnesses strong terahertz-range transitions between highly excited Rydberg states to capture individual terahertz photons. During an amplification phase, it exploits the Rydberg facilitation mechanism which converts a single terahertz photon into a substantial signal of Rydberg excitations.

  We show that a control atom's excitation adds to a second two-photon transition onto the doubly-excited Rydberg state, arising an excitation facilitation for the ensemble atoms. Results can provide a flexible control for the excitation of Rydberg atomic ensembles and participate further uses in developing mesoscopic Rydberg gates.

  We numerically study the feasibility of a single-photon source in a hot vapor of Rubidium atoms in a micro cell. For the excitation process with three rectangular lasers pulses, we simulate the coherent dynamics of the system in a truncated Hilbert space. We find that the collective decay of the single-excitation leads to a fast and directed photon emission and further, that a pulse sequence similar to a spin echo increases the directionality of the photon.
