Event Details

The strong interaction between an atom and an electromagnetic field confined to a cavity, as well as the ability, demonstrated in several labs, to control the interaction of a single atom with a single photon, has stimulated theoretical and experimental developments concerning new devices, like the micromaser, high-precision quantum sensing, and basic concepts of quantum mechanics, involving for instance its classical limit and  quantum non-demolition measurements of photon numbers. This talk, biased by the presenter’s wanderings, will review some of these achievements.
