Abstract:

Understanding the dynamic evolution of interacting photon pulses in a Rydberg atomic ensemble is a prerequisite for realizing quantum devices with such a system. This dynamical process is rather complicated due to the interaction constantly changing with the relative positions of photon pulses and the associated dissipation. In this talk, I will present our recent two theoretical works about this problem, including an efficient simulation approach of the dynamical processes, and storing interacting photons in a Rydberg medium.


Biography:

Liu Yang, lecturer in Harbin Engineering University. In 2011, she joined the research group of Jinhui Wu in Jilin University and worked in the fields of Quantum coherent manipulation in cold atoms. In 2014, she went to the Min Xiao’s group at the University of Arkansas as a visiting Ph.D. student, and worked on dynamic evolution of photon pulses in Rydberg medium and optomechanical cooling. After her graduation, she went to Institute of Automation, Harbin Engineering University in 2016. During this period, she has published 15 journal articles, including 3 in Physical Review Letters, 1 in Optica, 5 in Physical Review A.
