A time-dependent periodical field can be utilized to efficiently modify the Rabi coupling of system, exhibiting nontrivial dynamics. We propose a scheme to show that this feature can be applied for speeding up the formation of dissipative steady entanglement based on Rydberg anti-blockade mechanism in a simplified configuration, fundamentally stemming from a frequency match between the external-field modulation frequency and the systematic characteristic frequency. In the presence of an optimal modulation frequency that is exactly equal to the central frequency of driving field, it enables a sufficient residence time of the two-excitation Rydberg state for an irreversible spontaneous decay onto the target state, leading to an accelerated high-fidelity steady entanglement ∼ 0.98, with a shorter formation time < 400µs. We show that, a global maximal fidelity benefits from a consistence of microwave-field coupling and spontaneous decay strengths, by which the scheme promises a robust insensitivity to the initial population distributions. This simple approach to facilitate the generation of dissipative entangled two-qubit states by using periodic drivings may guide a new experimental direction in Rydberg quantum technology and quantum information.
A method for diffracting the weak probe beam into unidirectional and higher-order directions is proposed via a novel Rydberg electromagnetically induced grating, providing a new way for the implementations of quantum devices with cold Rydberg atoms. The proposed scheme utilizes a suitable and position-dependent adjustment to the two-photon detuning besides the modulation of the standing-wave coupling field, bringing a in-phase modulation which can change the parity of the dispersion. We observe that when the modulation amplitude is appropriate, a perfect unidirectional diffraction grating can be realized. In addition, due to the mutual effect between the van der Waals (vdWs) interaction and the atom-field interaction length that deeply improves the dispersion of the medium, the probe energy can be counter-intuitively transferred into higher-order diffractions as increasing the vdWs interaction, leading to the realization of a controllable higher-order diffraction grating via strong blockade.
Rydberg blockaded gate is a fundamental ingredient for scalable quantum computation with neutral Rydberg atoms. However the fidelity of such a gate is intrinsically limited by a blockade error coming from a Rydberg level shift that forbids its extensive use. Based on a dark-state adiabatic passage, we develop a novel protocol for realizing a two-atom blockade-error-free quantum gate in a hybrid system with simultaneous van der Waals (vdWsI) and resonant dipole-dipole interactions (DDI). The basic idea relies on converting the roles of two interactions, which is, the DDI serves as one time-dependent tunable pulse and the vdWsI acts as a negligible middle level shift as long as the adiabatic condition is preserved. We adopt an optimized super-Gaussian optical pulse with kπ (k ≫ 1) area accompanied by a smooth tuning for the DDI, composing a circular stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, which can robustly ensure a faster operation time ∼ 80ns as well as a highly-efficient gate fidelity ∼ 0.9996. This theoretical protocol offers a flexible treatment for hybrid interactions in complex Rydberg systems, enabling on-demand design of new types of effective Rydberg quantum gate devices.
Dynamic control of atomic dressing to the highly-excited Rydberg state in multi-level systems has special appeals owing to the development of flexible and precise measurement. In this study we develop an experimentally-accessible proposal to robustly control the dressing probability via a threestep cascaded excitation with double electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) technique. The system can function as an optical switch where the third addressing laser serving as the control knob can switchably engineer the dressing probability with time. Differing from a conventional twophoton EIT, this novel scheme facilitates the maximal dressing probability determined by a relative strength between two coupling fields, entirely relaxing the absolute values for strong lasers. The collective feature caused by the interactions of a few atoms is also studied leading to an enhanced dressing probability as well as a reduced response time. Our work offers the oppotunity to a coherent dynamic control of Rydberg excitation and to realize sizable Rydberg-Rydberg interactions in weakly-driven quantum systems.
