• Abstract: One of the critical elements in the realization of the quantum internet are deterministic two-photon gates. This $CZ$ photonic gate also completes a set of universal gates for all-optical quantum information processing. This article discusses an approach to realize high fidelity $CZ$ photonic gate by storing both control and target photons within an atomic ensemble using non-Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) followed by a fast, single-step Rydberg excitation with global lasers. The proposed scheme operates by relative intensity modulation of two lasers used in Rydberg excitation. Circumventing the conventional $\pi$-gap-$\pi$ schemes, the proposed operation features continuous laser protection of the Rydberg atoms from the environment noise. The complete spatial overlap of stored photons inside the blockade radius optimizes the optical depth and simplifies the experiment. The coherent operation here is performed in the region that was dissipative in the previous Rydberg EIT schemes. Encountering the main imperfection sources, i.e. the spontaneous emission of the Rydberg and intermediate levels, population rotation errors, Doppler broadening of the transition lines, storage/retrieval efficiency, and atomic thermal motion induced decoherence, this article concludes that with realistic experimental parameters 99.7\% fidelity is achievable.

  No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

  Local control over gate operations is an outstanding challenge in quantum computing with Rydberg atom arrays. One approach is to use a global field to excite atoms to the Rydberg state, and tune individual atoms in and out of resonance via local light shifts. We experimentally demonstrate global control of Rydberg excitations in a Yb optical tweezer array via light shifts induced by a laser tuned near the Yb$+$ $6srightarrow6p_1/2$ transition.

• Quantum nonlinear optics based on two-dimensional Rydberg atom arrays [0.0]
  We explore the combination of sub-wavelength, two-dimensional atomic arrays and Rydberg interactions as a powerful platform to realize strong, coherent interactions. We show that such a system enables a coherent photon-photon gate or switch, with an error scaling significantly better than the best known scaling in a disordered ensemble. Although this a priori represents a complicated, many-body quantum driven dissipative system, we find that the behavior can be captured well by a semi-classical model.
