Exotic Photonic Molecules via Lennard-Jones-like Potentials
Exotic Photonic Molecules via Lennard-Jones-like Potentials
Ultracold systems offer an unprecedented level of control of interactions between atoms. An important challenge is to achieve a similar level of control of the interactions between photons. Towards this goal, we propose a realization of a novel Lennard-Jones-like potential between photons coupled to the Rydberg states via electromagnetically induced …
