We investigate the quantum melting of one-dimensional crystals that are realized in an atomic lattice in which ground state atoms are laser excited to two Rydberg states. We focus on a regime where both, intra- and interstate density-density interact... Read More about Quantum melting of two-component Rydberg crystals.

We demonstrate experimentally that Stark-tuned Förster resonances can be used to substantially increase the interaction between individual photons mediated by Rydberg interaction inside an optical medium. This technique is employed to boost the gain... Read More about Enhancement of Rydberg-mediated single-photon nonlinearities by electrically tuned Förster resonances.
