Dark Entangled Steady States of Interacting Rydberg Atoms
Dark Entangled Steady States of Interacting Rydberg Atoms
We propose a scheme for rapid generation of high fidelity steady-state entanglement between a pair of atoms. A two-photon excitation process toward long-lived Rydberg states with finite pairwise interaction, a dark-state interference effect in the individual atoms, and spontaneous emission from their short-lived excited states lead to rapid, dissipative formation …
