Asymmetric Rydberg blockade of giant excitons in Cuprous Oxide

Previous research showed the existence of Rydberg excitons with large principle quantum numbers in Cu2O. Here, by using two-color pump-probe optical spectroscopy, the authors demonstrate the generation and control of long-range correlations between these giant Rydberg excitons, leading to exciton bl...
