Rydberg superatoms: An artificial quantum system for quantum information processing and quantum optics (2024)
Journal Article
Shao, X.-Q., Su, S.-L., Li, L., Nath, R., Wu, J.-H., & Li, W. (in press). Rydberg superatoms: An artificial quantum system for quantum information processing and quantum optics. Applied Physics Reviews,

Dense atom ensembles with Rydberg excitations display intriguing collective effects mediated by their strong, long-range dipole-dipole interactions. These collective effects, often modeled using Rydberg superatoms, have gained significant attention a...

Shock wave generation and propagation in dissipative and nonlocal nonlinear Rydberg media (2024)
Journal Article
Qin, L., Hang, C., Huang, G., & Li, W. (in press). Shock wave generation and propagation in dissipative and nonlocal nonlinear Rydberg media. Physical Review A,

We investigate the generation of optical shock waves in strongly interacting Rydberg atomic gases with a spatially homogeneous dissipative potential. The Rydberg atom interaction induces an optical nonlocal nonlinearity. We focus on local nonlinear (...

Atoms and ions confined with electric and optical fields form the basis of many current quantum simulation and computing platforms. When excited to high-lying Rydberg states, long-ranged dipole interactions emerge which strongly couple the electronic...

It is challenging to probe ergodicity breaking trends of a quantum many-body system when dissipation inevitably damages quantum coherence originated from coherent coupling and dispersive two-body interactions. Rydberg atoms provide a test bed to dete... Read More about Ergodicity breaking from Rydberg clusters in a driven-dissipative many-body system.
