Wigner Crystallization of Single Photons in Cold Rydberg Ensembles

Wigner Crystallization of Single Photons in Cold Rydberg Ensembles

The coupling of weak light fields to Rydberg states of atoms under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency leads to the formation of Rydberg polaritons which are quasiparticles with tunable effective mass and nonlocal interactions. Confined to one spatial dimension their low energy physics is that of a moving-frame Luttinger liquid …
