We investigate the interaction of weak light fields with two-dimensional lattices of atoms with high lying atomic Rydberg states. By analyzing their interplay, we identify conditions that yield a nonlinear quantum mirror which splits incident fields into correlated photon-pairs while transmitting single photons unaffected. Such strong photon-photon interactions in the absence of photon losses open up promising avenues for the generation and manipulation of quantum light, and the exploration of many-body phenomena with interacting photons.
We investigate the interaction of weak light fields with two-dimensional lattices of atoms with high lying atomic Rydb erg states. This system features different interactions that act on disparate length scales, from zero-range defect scattering of atomic excitations and finite range dipolar exchange processes to longrange Rydb erg-state interactions, which span the entire array and can block multiple Rydberg excitations. Analyzing their interplay, we identify conditions that yield a nonlinear quantum mirror which coherently splits incident fields into correlated photon-pairs in a single transverse mode, while transmitting single photons unaffected. In particular, we find strong anti-bunching of the transmitted light with equal-time pair correlations that decrease exponentially with an increasing range of the Rydberg blockade. Such strong photon-photon interactions in the absence of photon losses open up promising avenues for the generation and manipulation of quantum light, and the exploration of many-body phenomena with interacting photons.
