Sumario:[ANGLÈS] Rydberg atoms with principal quantum number n>>1 have extraordinary atomic properties including tunable long range dipole-dipole interactions that lead to the so called Rydberg blockade. Atoms excited to these particular levels have been shown to be excellent candidates to implement several quantum information tasks, from two-qubit gates to single photon sources. In this work, we demonstrate Electromagnetic Induced Transparency (EIT) using Rydberg levels in a hot gas of rubidium atoms. We then use the EIT window as a reference to stabilize the frequency of the coupling laser.
