Guest Editors: W Lange Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Garching, Germany J-M Gerard Laboratoire de Physique des Semiconducteurs, Grenoble, France Cavity QED interactions of light and matter have been investigated in a wide range of systems covering the spectrum from microwaves to optical frequencies, using media as diverse as single atoms and semiconductors. Impressive progress has been achieved technologically as well as conceptually. This topical issue of Journal of Optics B: Quantum and Semiclassical Optics is intended to provide a comprehensive account of the current state of the art of cavity QED by uniting contributions from researchers active across this field. As Guest Editors of this topical issue, we invite manuscripts on current theoretical and experimental work on any aspects of cavity QED. The topics to be covered will include, but are not limited to: •Cavity QED in optical microcavities •Semiconductor cavity QED •Quantum dot cavity QED •Rydberg atoms in microwave cavities •Photonic crystal cavity QED •Microsphere resonators •Microlasers and micromasers •Microdroplets •Dielectric cavity QED •Cavity QED-based quantum information processing •Quantum state engineering in cavities The topical issue is scheduled for publication in February 2004. Manuscripts should be submitted to the Publisher by 31 July 2003, quoting `Topical Issue/Cavity QED', although early submission would be welcomed. All papers will be peer-reviewed in accordance with the normal refereeing procedures and standards of Journal of Optics B: Quantum and Semiclassical Optics . Manuscripts should be prepared according to the general guidelines for authors published in the journal. Electronic submission in LaTeX is welcomed. Full details on how to structure an article, including specific information on figures, tables and references, are available from our Web site at www.iop.org/Journals/authors/jopb . There are no page charges for publication. In addition to the usual 50 free reprints, the corresponding author contributor of each paper published will receive a complimentary copy of the topical issue. We look forward to receiving your contribution to this topical issue.
