Quantum information processing based on Rydberg atoms emerged as a promising
direction two decades ago. Recent experimental and theoretical progresses have shined …

Bound states of massive particles, such as nuclei, atoms, or molecules, constitute the bulk of
the visible world around us. By contrast, photons typically only interact weakly. We report the …

Realizing single light bullets and vortices that are stable in high dimensions is a long-
standing goal in the study of nonlinear optical physics. The storage and retrieval of such …

Vortices are topologically nontrivial defects that generally originate from nonlinear field
dynamics. All-optical generation of photonic vortices—phase singularities of the …

Cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) has recently emerged as a promising material in solid-state
quantum technology, specifically for its excitonic Rydberg states characterized by large …

Solitons are known to occur in the context of atom-light interaction via the well-known
semiclassical phenomenon of self-induced transparency (SIT). Separately, in the regime …

In a chiral one-dimensional atom, a photon propagating in one direction interacts with the
atom; a photon propagating in the other direction does not. Chiral quantum optics has …

We propose and analyze a scheme for manipulating the propagation of single-photon
pulses with two polarization components in a Rydberg atomic gas via double …

We solved analytically the three-body mass-imbalanced problem embedded in D
dimensions for zero-range resonantly interacting particles. We derived the negative energy …

We study the dissipative propagation of quantized light in interacting Rydberg media under
the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. Rydberg blockade physics in …
