Cavity quantum electrodynamics and chiral quantum optics
Michael Scheucher, Jürgen Volz, Arno Rauschenbeutel
Cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) investigates the interaction between light confined in a resonator and particles, such as atoms. In recent years, CQED experiments have reache…
Discrimination of coherent and incoherent cathodoluminescence using temporal photon correlations
Michael Scheucher, Thomas Schachinger, Thomas Spielauer +2
We present a method to separate coherent and incoherent contributions of cathodoluminescence (CL) by using a time-resolved coincidence detection scheme. For a proof-of-concept expe…
Coupling a single trapped atom to a whispering-gallery-mode microresonator
Elisa Will, Luke Masters, Arno Rauschenbeutel +2
We demonstrate trapping of a single 85Rb atom at a distance of 200 nm from the surface of a whispering-gallery-mode bottle microresonator. The atom is trapped in an optical potenti…
Quantum optical circulator controlled by a single chirally coupled atom
Michael Scheucher, Adèle Hilico, Elisa Will +2
We demonstrate a fiber-integrated quantum optical circulator that is operated by a single atom and that relies on the chiral interaction between emitters and transversally confined…
Nonlinear pi phase shift for single fiber-guided photons interacting with a single atom
Jürgen Volz, Michael Scheucher, Christian Junge +1
Realizing a strong interaction between individual optical photons is an important objective of research in quantum science and technology. Since photons do not interact directly, t…
Slow light-enhanced optical imaging of microfiber radius variations with sub-Angström precision
Michael Scheucher, Khaled Kassem, Arno Rauschenbeutel +2
Optical fibers play a key role in many different fields of science and technology. In particular, fibers with a diameter of several micrometers are intensively used in photonics. F…
