TLDR
It has been observed that the spontaneous-emission lifetime of Rydberg atoms is shortened by a large ratio when these atoms are crossing a high-Q$ superconducting cavity tuned to resonance with a millimeter-wave transition between adjacent Ryd Berg states as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:

TL;DR: The observation of strong coupling of a single two-level solid-state system with a photon, as realized by a single quantum dot in a semiconductor microcavity, may provide a basis for future applications in quantum information processing or schemes for coherent control.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss potential applications of single-photon states to optical processing of quantum information: cryptography, computing and communication, and compare the advantages and weaknesses of various single nanometre-scale objects used as singlephoton sources: atoms or ions in the gas phase and, in condensed matter, organic molecules, defect centres, semiconductor nanocrystals and heterostructures.

Modified spontaneous emission in nanophotonic structures
TL;DR: Nanophotonic systems, including photonic crystal microcavities and plasmonic metal nanoparticles, that are capable of changing the rate of spontaneous emission are reviewed and compared as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that spontaneous emission is not a property of an isolated atom but of an atom-vacuum system and can be inhibited or enhanced by placing the excited atom between mirrors or in a cavity.
