Polarization gradient cooling of single atoms in optical dipole traps
Yue-Sum Chin, Matthias Steiner, Christian Kurtsiefer
We experimentally investigate - polarization gradient cooling~(PGC) of a single Rb atom in a tightly focused dipole trap and show that the cooling limit strongly d…
Single atoms coupled to a near-concentric cavity
Chi Huan Nguyen, Adrian Nugraha Utama, Nick Lewty +5
Concentric cavities can lead to strong photon-atom coupling without a need for high finesse or small physical-cavity volume. In a proof-of-principle experiment of this concept we d…
Nonlinear photon-atom coupling with 4Pi microscopy
Yue-Sum Chin, Matthias Steiner, Christian Kurtsiefer
Implementing nonlinear interactions between single photons and single atoms is at the forefront of optical physics. Motivated by the prospects of deterministic all-optical quantum…
Photon bandwidth dependence of light-matter interaction
Matthias Steiner, Victor Leong, Mathias Alexander Seidler +2
We investigate the scattering of single photons by single atoms and, in particular, the dependence of the atomic dynamics and the scattering probability on the photon bandwidth. We…
