Three-Body Interaction of Rydberg Slow-Light Polaritons
Three-Body Interaction of Rydberg Slow-Light Polaritons
We study a system of three photons in an atomic medium coupled to Rydberg states near the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. Based on the analytical analysis of the microscopic set of equations in the far-detuned regime, the effective three-body interaction for these Rydberg polaritons is derived. For slow light …
