The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

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 …

Optical communication channels have redefined the scope and applications of classical
computing; similarly, photonic transfer of quantum information promises to open new …

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 …

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 …

The coupling of optical and mechanical degrees of freedom is the underlying principle of
many techniques to measure mechanical displacement, from macroscale gravitational wave …

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 …

Optomechanical cavity cooling of levitated objects offers the possibility for laboratory
investigation of the macroscopic quantum behavior of systems that are largely decoupled …

We report cooling of a single neutral atom to its three-dimensional vibrational ground state in
an optical tweezer. After employing Raman sideband cooling for tens of milliseconds, we …

Recently, remarkable advances have been made in coupling a number of high-Q modes of
nano-mechanical systems to high-finesse optical cavities, with the goal of reaching regimes …
