Coupling a Single Trapped Atom to a Nanoscale Optical Cavity

Jeff D. Thompson, T. G. Tiecke, Nathalie P. de Leon +6 more

Hybrid quantum devices, in which dissimilar quantum systems are combined in order to attain qualities not available with either system alone, may enable far-reaching control in quantum measurement, sensing, and information processing. A paradigmatic example is trapped ultracold atoms, which offer excellent quantum coherent properties, coupled to nanoscale solid-state systems, which allow for strong interactions. We demonstrate a deterministic interface between a single trapped rubidium atom and a nanoscale photonic crystal cavity. Precise control over the atom's position allows us to probe the cavity near-field with a resolution below the diffraction limit and to observe large atom-photon coupling. This approach may enable the realization of integrated, strongly coupled quantum nano-optical circuits.

Single Collective Excitation of Atoms Evanescently Coupled to a Nanoscale Waveguide

Jérémy Raskop, Neil Corzo, Aveek Chandra +4 more

Summary form only given. Developing light-matter interfaces is a crucial capability with unique applications to quantum optics and quantum information networks [1]. In this context, our group focuses on the study of interactions between photons guided by nanoscale waveguides and arrays of trapped atoms. Nanoscale waveguides offer a compelling platform because of the tight transverse confinement of the propagating light, the strong photon-atom coupling in single pass, and the potential long-range atom-atom interaction mediated by the guided photons [2]. Our platform, based on an optical nanofiber, already allowed the demonstration of an all-fibered optical memory with a storage and retrieval efficiency ri = 10% and a high SNR at the single photon level [3]. Then, by using an optical lattice in the evanescent field surrounding the nanofiber with a period close to commensurate with the resonant wavelength, we demonstrated large Bragg reflection by the 1D array of trapped atoms [4].
