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 …

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 …

Quantum networks provide opportunities and challenges across a range of intellectual and
technical frontiers, including quantum computation, communication and metrology. The …

Optical microcavities confine light to small volumes by resonant recirculation. Devices based
on optical microcavities are already indispensable for a wide range of applications and …

In information processing, as in physics, our classical world view provides an incomplete
approximation to an underlying quantum reality. Quantum effects like interference and …

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 …

An important development in modern physics is the emerging capability for investigations of
dynamical processes for open quantum systems in a regime of strong coupling for which …

Modern cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED) illuminates the most fundamental
aspects of coherence and decoherence in quantum mechanics. Experiments on atoms in …

Measurements of the quality factor Q? 8× 10^ 9 are reported for the whispering-gallery
modes (WGM's) of quartz microspheres for the wavelengths 670, 780, and 850?? nm; these …
