This thesis describes the first demonstration of a cooperative
optical non-linearity based on Rydberg excitation. Whereas in
conventional non-linear optics the non-linearity arises directly
from the interaction between light and matter, in a cooperative
process it is mediated by dipole-dipole interactions between
light-induced excitations. For excitation to high Rydberg states
where the electron is only weakly bound, the dipole-dipole
interactions are extremely large and long range, enabling an
enormous enhancement of the non-linear effect. Consequently,
cooperative non-linear optics using Rydberg excitations opens a new
era for quantum optics enabling large single photon non-linearity
to be accessible in free space for the first time. The thesis
describes the theoretical underpinnings of the non- linear effect,
the pioneering experimental results and implications for
experiments in the single photon regime.
