New optical cavity design improves control of light waves and single atoms

Research Topic

Photonic quantum coupled system and its applications

My research interest lies in quantum optics. In particular, I focus on few or many-body quantum systems made up of photonic quanta, so-called photons. To mediate an interaction between photons, I utilize trapped single atoms that couple to high-quality optical cavities. The novel design of the unit, including cavities, enables the system size to be expanded step-by-step. The interacting photons introduce a new experimental platform compared to conventional electronic or atomic quantum many-body systems.
