Abstract

Recent experiments towards deterministic quantum information processing with single atoms and single photons in a high-finesse optical cavity are discussed, including a single-photon server and an atom-photon interface.

We review recent experiments with single atoms strongly coupled to high-finesse optical cavities, highlighting deterministic schemes for the production of polarized single photons, the generation of an entanglement between a stationary atom and a flying photon, the mapping of a quantum state from an atom onto a photon, the emission of an entangled photon pair, and the generation of an up-to-half-a-minute long stream of single photons from one-and-the-same atom.

Deterministic Single-Photon Generation by Cavity QED

Kazuhiro Hayasaka

Deterministic generation of single photons is an essential ingredient for quantum information experiments. Controlled emission of single photons into a cavity mode with high efficiency is proposed using a coupled system of an atom and a cavity. This paper reports theoretical discussions on single-photon generation by cavity quantum electrodynamics (Cavity QED) as well as recent progress in experiments with atoms and ions.

We have designed a set-up for realizing single atom -single photon interfaces as a resource for quantum optics, quantum computing, and quantum information experiments. The highly modular and versatile experimental set-up will allow us to implement into the system the most recent technology with only minor changes.

Real-time tracking and trapping of single atoms in cavity QED

Harry J. Kimble

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) offers powerful possibilities for the deterministic control of atom-photon interactions quantum by quantum [1]. Indeed, modern experiments in cavity QED have achieved the exceptional circumstance of strong coupling, for which single quanta can profoundly impact the dynamics of the atom-cavity system. The diverse accomplishments of this field set the stage for advances into yet broader frontiers in quantum information science for which cavity QED offers unique advantages, such as the realization of quantum networks by way of multiple atom-cavity systems linked by optical interconnects [2,3].

Optically trapped atoms in the strong coupling regime of cavity QED have been used to generate single photons deterministically. Referenced to the total cavity output, the generation efficiency for polarized photons is 16%.
