This thesis proposes a means of implementing quantum information processing using
photonic qubits as information carriers. Electromagnetically-induced transparency …

Rydberg quantum optics achieves optical non-linearities at the singlephoton level by
map** the strong dipolar interactions between Rydberg atoms in cold atomic gases onto …

High optical nonlinearities can be achieved at the single photon level by coupling the
photon states to strongly interacting Rydberg excitations under the conditions of …
