Abstract
The creation of collective many-body quantum states from a two-dimensional lattice gas of atoms is studied. Our approach relies on the van der Waals interaction that is present between alkali metal atoms which are laser excited to high-lying Rydberg s-states. We focus on a regime in which the laser driving is strong compared to the interaction between Rydberg atoms. Here energetically low-lying many-particle states can be calculated approximately from a quadratic Hamiltonian. The potential usefulness of these states as a resource for the creation of deterministic single-photon sources is illustrated. The properties of these photon states are determined from the interplay between the particular geometry of the lattice and the interatomic spacing.
