Our group focuses on demonstrating novel single-photon-single atom quantum information and quantum communication operations
We achieve this by coupling single, laser-cooled Rb atoms to high-quality WGM chip-based, fibre-coupled optical micro-resonators.
By confining light in such a small volume, the electric field of even a single photon is enhanced to a level that allows coherent interaction with a single atom.
