Collective photon interaction with three-level Rydberg gases — •Fabio Cinti and Thomas Pohl — Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden

The interaction of light with highly excited Rydberg atoms has recently become the focus of several investigations. Interest stems from intriguing possibilities to generate non-classical photon states by exploiting the strong interactions between Rydberg atoms.

Here, we study the dynamics of three-level atoms, driven in a ladder-configuration that exhibits electromagnetically-induced transparency. We present simple mean field models and numerical Monte-Carlo simulations of the underlying many-body master equation and investigate the effects of the correlated atomic dynamics on the properties of the emitted light. Prospects for generating non-classical light are also discussed.
