- Abstract summary: We propose a novel scheme for coupling a Rydberg state to a stationary light polariton, based on a dual-V level scheme.
We investigate the properties of the resulting stationary Rydberg polariton, and show that its form and its dispersion relation closely resemble that of the stationary light polariton of the underlying dual-V scheme.

- Abstract: We propose a novel scheme for coupling a Rydberg state to a stationary light
polariton, based on a dual-V level scheme. We investigate the properties of the
resulting stationary Rydberg polariton, and show that its form and its
quadratic dispersion relation closely resemble that of the stationary light
polariton of the underlying dual-V scheme. We consider the influence of a
Rydberg impurity on the system and find strong interaction-induced absorption
of the involved probe field. The proposed scheme for a stationary Rydberg
polariton might find applications for realizing interacting polaritons with
increased interaction time.

Rydberg polaritons provide an example of a rare type of system where three-body interactions can be as strong or even stronger than two-body interactions.
We show how the shape and strength of dissipative three-body forces can be universally enhanced for Rydberg polaritons.

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.
