Rydberg blockade and quantum squeezing effects in a microwave mediated five-level inverted Y-type atomic system

Rejjak Laskar, Md. Mabud Hossain, Jayanta K. Saha

Abstract We propose a quantum mechanical model for observing Rydberg blockade and squeezing effects using a microwave field-assisted five-level inverted Y-type atom-laser interaction system. Using the mean field approximation, we calculate the mean and squeezed values of collective atomic operators and the probe field’s annihilation operator. Our model predicts that the presence of a signal field increases the number of probe photons transmitted under Rydberg blockade conditions as the control field strength increases. Additionally, it shows that higher number of probe photons are transmitted in the linear interaction regime compared to the non-linear regime. Under Rydberg blockade conditions, the probability of two or more photons in the same Rydberg superatom can be tuned by switching between linear and non-linear interaction regimes, and the positions of bunching or anti-bunching can be adjusted by toggling the signal field on or off. In the presence of the signal field, squeezing in probe transmittance can be maximized in both linear and non-linear regimes by increasing the strength of the control field.

Chirped multiphoton adiabatic passage for a four-level ladder-type Rydberg excitation

Jing Qian, Jingjing Zhai, Lu Zhang +1 more

We develop a multiphoton adiabatic passage to realize a highly efficient Rydberg excitation in a four-level ladder-type atomic system. The adiabatic passage is based on the existence of a novel quasidark state in the cascade excitation system where the frequencies of the lasers are appropriately chirped with time. We also investigate the influence of the interatomic Rydberg interaction on the passage and extend its application to the preparation of antiblockade Rydberg atom pairs in the Rydberg blockade regime.

Collective state synthesis in an optical cavity using Rydberg atom blockade

Kumar, Santosh, Jiteng Sheng, Jonathon A. Sedlacek +2 more

We investigate the coherent manipulation of interacting Rydberg atoms placed inside a high-finesse optical cavity for the deterministic preparation of strongly coupled light-matter systems. We consider a four-level diamond scheme with one common Rydberg level for N interacting atoms. One side of the diamond is used to excite the atoms into a collective `superatom' Rydberg state using either π-pulses or stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) pulses. The upper transition on the other side of the diamond is used to transfer the collective state to one that is coupled to a field mode of an optical cavity. Due to the strong interaction between the atoms in the Rydberg level, the Rydberg blockade mechanism plays a key role in the deterministic quantum state synthesis of the atoms in the cavity. We use numerical simulation to show that non-classical states of light can be generated and that the state that is coupled to the cavity field is a collective one. We also investigate how different decay mechanisms affect this interacting many-body system. We also analyze our system in the case of two Rydberg excitations within the blockade volume. The simulations are carried out with parameters corresponding to realizable high-finesse optical cavities and alkali atoms like rubidium.
