TLDR
This investigation of the excited levels of the atom-cavity system reveals nonlinear quantum features at extremely low field strengths.Abstract:
We have observed the Rabi oscillation of circular Rydberg atoms in the vacuum and in small coherent fields stored in a high Q cavity. The signal exhibits discrete Fourier components at frequencies proportional to the square root of successive integers. This provides direct evidence of field quantization in the cavity. The weights of the Fourier components yield the photon number distribution in the field. This investigation of the excited levels of the atom-cavity system reveals nonlinear quantum features at extremely low field strengths.read more

Many-Body Physics with Ultracold Gases
TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases is presented, focusing on effects beyond standard weakcoupling descriptions, such as the Mott-Hubbard transition in optical lattices, strongly interacting gases in one and two dimensions, or lowest-Landau-level physics in quasi-two-dimensional gases in fast rotation.

Quantum dynamics of single trapped ions
TL;DR: Theoretical and experimental work on radio-frequency (Paul) traps is reviewed in this paper, with a focus on ions trapped in radiofrequency traps, which are ideal for quantum-optical and quantum-dynamical studies under well controlled conditions.

TL;DR: The experimental realization of a strongly coupled system in the solid state is reported: a single quantum dot embedded in the spacer of a nanocavity, showing vacuum-field Rabi splitting exceeding the decoherence linewidths of both the nanoc Cavity and the quantum dot.

TL;DR: Observations unequivocally show that quantum information tasks are achievable in solid-state cavity QED by observing quantum correlations in photoluminescence from a photonic crystal nanocavity interacting with one, and only one, quantum dot located precisely at the cavity electric field maximum.
