This is a review of state-of-the-art theory and experiment of the motion of cold and ultracold
atoms coupled to the radiation field within a high-finesse optical resonator in the dispersive …

The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought
experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrödinger's cat. These experiments have now …

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) systems allow the study of a variety of fundamental
quantum-optics phenomena, such as entanglement, quantum decoherence and the …

Cavity quantum electrodynamics, a central research field in optics and solid-state physics,,,
addresses properties of atom-like emitters in cavities and can be divided into a weak and a …

At low temperatures, sufficiently small metallic and semiconductor devices exhibit the
'Coulomb blockade'effect, in which charge transport through the device occurs on an …

Distributed quantum networks will allow users to perform tasks and to interact in ways which
are not possible with present-day technology. Their implementation is a key challenge for …

This paper reviews the work on cavity quantum electrodynamics of free atoms. In recent
years, cavity experiments have also been conducted on a variety of solid-state systems …

We propose a scheme for scalable photonic quantum computation based on cavity-assisted
interaction between single-photon pulses. The prototypical quantum controlled phase-flip …

A single cesium atom trapped within the mode of an optical cavity is used to generate single
photons on demand. The photon wave packets are emitted as a Gaussian beam with …
