摘要
This article presents recent experiments where cold atoms, excited to Rydberg states, interact with each other. It describes the basic properties of Rydberg atoms and their interactions, with the emphasis on the Rydberg blockade mechanism. The paper details a few experimental demonstrations using two individual atoms or atomic ensembles, as well as applications of this "toy many-body system" to quantum information processing using photons.
