TL;DR: In this paper, a scheme to utilize photons for ideal quantum transmission between atoms located at spatially separated nodes of a quantum network was proposed, which employs special laser pulses that excite an atom inside an optical cavity at the sending node so that its state is mapped into a time-symmetric photon wave packet that will enter a cavity at receiving node and be absorbed by an atom there with unit probability.

TL;DR: Measurements of the birefringence of a single atom strongly coupled to a high-finesse optical resonator are reported, with nonlinear phase shifts observed for an intracavity photon number much less than one.

TL;DR: The purview of cavity QED will continue to grow as researchers build on a rich infrastructure to attack some of the most pressing open questions in micro- and mesoscopic physics.

TL;DR: The observed independence of Q from wavelength indicates that losses for the WGM's are dominated by a mechanism other than bulk absorption in fused silica in the near infrared.

TL;DR: In this article, a scalable optical processor with electronic feedback that can be realized at large scale with room-temperature technology is presented. But it is not suitable for large-scale combinatorial optimizations.
