Electromagnetically induced transparency in strongly interacting Rydberg gases
Electromagnetically induced transparency in strongly interacting Rydberg gases
We develop an efficient Monte-Carlo approach to describe the optical response of cold three-level atoms in the presence of EIT and strong atomic interactions. In particular, we consider a "Rydberg-EIT medium" where one involved level is subject to large shifts due to strong van der Waals interactions with surrounding Rydberg …
