Enhancement of Rydberg-mediated single-photon nonlinearities by electrically tuned Förster resonances

We demonstrate experimentally that Stark-tuned Förster resonances can be used to substantially increase the interaction between individual photons mediated by Rydberg interaction inside an optical medium. This technique is employed to boost the gain of a Rydberg-mediated single-photon transistor and...
