DESCRIPTION:The exaggerated properties of Rydberg atoms are ex
 ploited in a wide range of experiments in atomic p
 hysics as well as in quantum information science. 
 The first two lectures of this series have shown h
 ow the very strong interactions of these atoms wit
 h microwave radiation are used in cavity quantum e
 lectrodynamics experiments to perform fundamental 
 tests of quantum laws. In this third lecture\, I w
 ill review experiments taking advantage of the ver
 y strong dipole-dipole coupling between Rydberg at
 oms to perform quantum logic operations and to stu
 dy new states of quantum matter which may lead to 
 promising applications.
