Abstract: In an experiment on three-photon laser excitation $5S_{1/2} \to 5P_{3/2} \to 6S_{1/2} \to 37P_{3/2}$ of a single $^{87}$Rb Rydberg atom in an optical dipole trap, we have observed for the first time three-photon Rabi oscillations between the ground and the Rydberg states. The single atom was detected optically by measuring the signal of resonant fluorescence with a low-noise sCMOS video camera. Relative probability of the atom to remain in the trap after the action of three synchronized laser excitation pulses was measured for their durations varied in the range from 100 ns to 2 $\mu$s. A specific feature of the experiment was the usage of intense laser radiation at the wavelength of 1367 nm on the second excitation step, which provided the single-photon Rabi frequency up to 2 GHz to control the effective detunings of the intermediate levels of the three-photon transition due to ac Stark effect. We have detected Rabi oscillations with frequency from 1 to 5 MHz depending on the intensities of the laser pulses on the first and the second excitation steps with the coherence time of 0.7-0.8 $\mu$s. The ways to increase the coherence time and contrast of the three-photon Rabi oscillations for applications in quantum information processing with Rydberg atoms are discussed.

Analyzing the collective emission of a Rydberg-blockaded single-photon source based on an ensemble of thermal atoms [0.0]
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.

For three photons, the formation of vortex lines and a central vortex ring attests to a genuine three-photon interaction.
