摘要/Abstract

摘要： Strongly-interacting Rydberg atomic ensembles have shown intense collective excitation effects due to the inclusion of single Rydberg excitation shared by multiple atoms in the ensemble. In this paper we investigate a counter-intuitive Rydberg excitation facilitation with a strongly-interacting atomic ensemble in the strong probe-field regime, which is enabled by the role of a control atom nearby. Differing from the case of a single ensemble, we show that, the control atom's excitation adds to a second two-photon transition onto the doubly-excited Rydberg state, arising an excitation facilitation for the ensemble atoms. Our numerical studies depending on the method of quantum Monte Carlo wave function, exhibit the observation constraints of this excitation facilitation effect under practical experimental conditions. The results obtained can provide a flexible control for the excitation of Rydberg atomic ensembles and participate further uses in developing mesoscopic Rydberg gates for multiqubit quantum computation.
