Photon burst detection of single atoms in an optical cavity
&
Abstract
Many protocols in atomic physics and quantum information hinge on the ability to detect the presence of neutral atoms. Up to now, two avenues have been favoured: the direct detection of spontaneously emitted photons using high-quality optics, or the observation of changes in light transmission through cavity mirrors due to strong atom–photon coupling.
