A cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED ) system is one of very few physically realizable systems which can help us to u nderstand quantum effects and reveal the interaction dynamics of atoms and optic al fields. The strongly coupled atom-photon interaction can provide a realizati on of a quantum logic gate for quantum information processing. We introduce the basic ideas of cavity QED, its recent progress and future prospects.
