We report on experiments exploring Stark-tuned Forster resonances between Rydberg atoms with unprecedented resolution in the Forster defect. The individual resonances are expected to exhibit different angular dependencies, opening the possibility to tune not only the interaction strength but also the angular dependence of the pair state potentials by an external electric field. We achieve a high resolution by optical Ramsey interferometry for Rydberg atoms combined with electric field pulses. The resonances are detected by a loss of visibility in the Ramsey fringes due to resonances in the interaction. We present measurements of the density dependence as well as of the coherence time at and close to Forster resonances.

Mapping the strong interaction between Rydberg atoms onto single photons via electromagnetically induced transparency enables manipulation of light on the single photon level and novel few-photon devices such as all-optical switches and transistors o perated by individual photons. Here, we demonstrate experimentally that Stark-tuned Forster resonances can substantially increase this effective interaction between individual photons. This technique boosts the gain of a single-photon transistor to over 100, enhances the non-destructive detection of single Rydberg atoms to a fidelity beyond 0.8, and enables high precision spectroscopy on Rydberg pair states. On top, we achieve a gain larger than 2 with gate photon read-out after the transistor operation. Theory models for Rydberg polariton propagation on Forster resonance and for the projection of the stored spin-wave yield excellent agreement to our data and successfully identify the main decoherence mechanism of the Rydberg transistor, paving the way towards photonic quantum gates.
High-fidelity entangled Bell states are of great interest in quantum physics. Entanglement of ultracold neutral atoms in two spatially separated optical dipole traps is promising for implementation of quantum computing and quantum simulation and for investigation of Bell states of material objects. We propose a new method to entangle two atoms via long-range Rydberg-Rydberg interaction. Alternatively to previous approaches, based on Rydberg blockade, we consider radiofrequency-assisted Stark-tuned F{o}rster resonances in Rb Rydberg atoms. To reduce the sensitivity of the fidelity of Bell states to the fluctuations of interatomic distance, we propose to use the double adiabatic passage across the radiofrequency-assisted Stark-tuned F{o}rster resonances, which results in a deterministic phase shift of the two-atom state.

We calculate interspecies Rydberg-Rydberg interaction strengths for the heavy alkalis Rb and Cs. The presence of strong Forster resonances makes interspecies coupling a promising approach for long range entanglement generation. We also provide an ove rview of the strongest Forster resonances for Rb-Rb and Cs-Cs using different principal quantum numbers for the two atoms. We show how interspecies coupling can be used for high fidelity quantum non demolition state measurements with low crosstalk in qubit arrays.
We measure the angular dependence of the resonant dipole-dipole interaction between two individual Rydberg atoms with controlled relative positions. By applying a combination of static electric and magnetic fields on the atoms, we demonstrate the pos sibility to isolate a single interaction channel at a Forster resonance, that shows a well-defined angular dependence. We first identify spectroscopically the Forster resonance of choice and we then perform a direct measurement of the interaction strength between the two atoms as a function of the angle between the internuclear axis and the quantization axis. Our results show good agreement with the expected angular dependence $propto(1-3cos^2theta)$, and represent an important step towards quantum state engineering in two-dimensional arrays of individual Rydberg atoms.
Three body resonant interactions between Rydberg atoms are considered in order to perform few-body quantum gates. So far, the resonances found in cesium or rubidium atoms relied on an adjacent two-body resonance which ceases to exist for principal qu antum numbers above $n simeq 40$. We have proposed recently a new class of 3-body interaction resonances in alkali-metal Rydberg atoms [P. Cheinet textit{et al.}, Quant. Elect. textbf{50}, 213 (2020)], which circumvienes this limit. We investigate here the relative strength between this new class of 3-body interaction resonance and quasi-forbidden 2-body interaction resonances in rubidium and cesium Rydberg atoms. We then identify the best case scenario for detecting and using this 3-body interaction.
