Towards a monolithic optical cavity for atom detection and manipulation
Sébastien Gleyzes, Abdelkrim El Amili, Ronald Cornelussen +11
We study a Fabry-Perot cavity formed from a ridge waveguide on a AlGaAs substrate. We experimentally determined the propagation losses in the waveguide at 780 nm, the wavelength of…
Process tomography of field damping and measurement of Fock state lifetimes by quantum non-demolition photon counting in a cavity
M. Brune, J. Bernu, C. Guerlin +7
The relaxation of a quantum field stored in a high- superconducting cavity is monitored by non-resonant Rydberg atoms. The field, subjected to repetitive quantum non-demolition…
Progressive field-state collapse and quantum non-demolition photon counting
Christine Guerlin, Julien Bernu, Samuel Deléglise +6
The irreversible evolution of a microscopic system under measurement is a central feature of quantum theory. From an initial state generally exhibiting quantum uncertainty in the m…
Ultrahigh finesse Fabry-Perot superconducting resonator
Stefan Kuhr, Sébastien Gleyzes, Christine Guerlin +10
We have built a microwave Fabry-Perot resonator made of diamond-machined copper mirrors coated with superconducting niobium. Its damping time (Tc = 130 ms at 51 GHz and 0.8 K) corr…
Entanglement of a Mesoscopic Field with an Atom induced by Photon Graininess in a Cavity
Alexia Auffeves, Paolo Maioli, Tristan Meunier +5
We observe that a mesoscopic field made of several tens of microwave photons exhibits quantum features when interacting with a single Rydberg atom in a high-Q cavity. The field is…
