Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) and the related phenomenon of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) are paradigms for quantum interference effects. EIT involving a Rydberg state has recently been studied experimentally [1] and has also attracted much interest in the context of quantum information processing [2]. In this work we compare experiments on CPT [3] and EIT [4] in Rydberg gases with controlled interparticle interactions. We present many-body calculations which take the resulting interparticle correlations into account.
