Observation of three-photon bound states in a quantum nonlinear medium
Qiyu Liang,Aditya V. Venkatramani,Sergio Cantu,Travis Nicholson,Michael Gullans,Michael Gullans,Alexey V. Gorshkov,Jeff D. Thompson,Cheng Chin,Mikhail D. Lukin,Vladan Vuletic +10 more
TL;DR: The observation of traveling three-photon bound states in a quantum nonlinear medium where the interactions between photons are mediated by atomic Rydberg states demonstrates the ability to realize and control strongly interacting quantum many-body states of light.
Symmetry-protected collisions between strongly interacting photons
Jeff D. Thompson,Jeff D. Thompson,Travis Nicholson,Qiyu Liang,Sergio Cantu,Aditya V. Venkatramani,Soonwon Choi,Ilya A. Fedorov,Daniel Viscor,Thomas Pohl,Mikhail D. Lukin,Vladan Vuletic +11 more
TL;DR: A controlled and coherent exchange collision between two photons that is accompanied by a π/2 phase shift is demonstrated, which opens a route to realizing robust single-photon switches and all-optical quantum logic gates, and to exploring novel quantum many-body phenomena with strongly interacting photons.
