So, I am a graduate student (first year), doing research on trying to develop a quantum radar. A quantum radar relies exclusively on using a handful of photons (even one single photon) to operate.
Through my research, I have come across "Rydberg Blocking." It seems to be the best way to create photons at the current time. I went to a seminar about Rydberg blocking to learn more about it and just the way the speaker was presenting it, it seemed as though it was still very much in the experimental stages.
I wanted to see if anyone here could shed more light on Rydberg blockage as a means to create single photons. I have a couple of questions.
Do you think that my study in quantum radar is premature? In that, there isn't even an established way to create single photons and my research is already looking to use single photons in an engineering manner.
How well does Rydberg blockage actually work? At the present time, can it reliably create single photons? And what frequency are they emitted at?
Thanks
