摘要:

我们考虑了单个原子与聚焦光模之间的近共振相互作用,其中位于透镜焦点处的单个原子可以散射相当大一部分光。作为对以前单个原子消光和相移效应实验的补充,我们在这里报道了相干后向散射光的测量。观察到的效果的强度建议结合强聚焦与完善的腔QED的方法。我们认为理论上一个近同心腔,这应该允许一个强聚焦的光学模式。简单的估计表明,在这种情况下,可以预期一个显着的单光子拉比频率。这开辟了新的视角,并有可能扩大由许多原子+腔节点组成的系统,用于量子网络,因为原子-光接口的技术简化。

英文摘要:

We consider the near-resonant interaction between a single atom and a focused light mode, where a single atom localized at the focus of a lens can scatter a significant fraction of light. Complementary to previous experiments on extinction and phase shift effects of a single atom, we report here on the measurement of coherently backscattered light. The strength of the observed effect suggests combining strong focusing with the well-established methods of cavity QED. We consider theoretically a nearly concentric cavity, which should allow for a strongly focused optical mode. Simple estimates show that in a such case one can expect a significant single photon Rabi frequency. This opens new perspectives and a possibility to scale up the system consisting of many atom+cavity nodes for quantum networking due to a significant technical simplification of the atom--light interfaces.
