Quantum optics: A box for a single photon
Philippe Grangier1
The controlled manipulation of individual quantum objects, such as atoms, ions or photons, has developed considerably in recent years. A 'billiard ball' approach to individual atoms has been popularized by the fantastic landscapes created and explored using atomic force microscopy techniques, which exploit the repulsive force between microscope tip and atomic sample.
