Towards a Photon-Photon Quantum Gate Using Rydberg-Interactions in an Optical Resonator — •Thomas Stolz, Steffen Schmidt-Eberle, Lukas Husel, Stephan Dürr, and Gerhard Rempe — Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Hans-Kopfermann-Str. 1, 85748 Garching, Germany

We recently realized a photon-photon π-phase gate based on free-space Rydberg EIT in an ultracold atomic ensemble [1]. The performance in terms of efficiency and postselected fidelity is limited by dephasing resulting from the interaction between the Rydberg electron and surrounding ground-state atoms. The dephasing rate can be much reduced by working at lower atomic density [2]. To keep the gate operational in this regime, we plan to place the ensemble inside a moderate-finesse optical resonator [3,4]. We report on experimental progress toward this goal.
