摘要
We demonstrated stochastic switching in a bistable system implemented with the Rydberg atomic ensemble, which is realized by cascaded Rydberg excitation in a cesium vapor cell. Measurement of Rydberg state's population by means of the electromagnetically induced transparency allows us to investigate the nonlinear behavior in Rydberg atomic ensemble experimentally. The transition between the two states of the bistable system is driven by the intensity noise of the laser beams. Rydberg atomic ensemble accumulates energy in an equilibrium situation and brings the nonlinear system across the threshold, where stochastic switching occurs between the two states.
