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.

Deterministic Coupling of a Single Nitrogen Vacancy Center to a Photonic Crystal Cavity

Dirk Englund, Brendan Shields, Kelley Rivoire +4 more

We describe and experimentally demonstrate a technique for deterministic, large coupling between a photonic crystal (PC) nanocavity and single photon emitters. The technique is based on in situ scanning of a PC cavity over a sample and allows the precise positioning of the cavity over a desired emitter with nanoscale resolution. The power of the technique is demonstrated by coupling the PC nanocavity to a single nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond, an emitter system that provides optically accessible electron and nuclear spin qubits.

Deterministically controlled coupling of individual atoms to a high-finesse optical cavity

Quantum computing with atoms in optical cavities requires a precisely tunable atom-cavity coupling. This has now been achieved by means of a dipole-force trap transporting single atoms perpendicular to the cavity axis.
