Abstract
Recent experiments with the one-atom maser[1] have demonstrated that it is possible to study the interaction of single Rydberg atoms with a single quantized mode[2] of a resonant electromagnetic field in a superconducting cavity. The quality factor is high enough to observe the periodic energy exchange between the atom and the field. The statistical and discrete nature of the photon field leads to new dynamic characteristics such as collapse and revival in the Rabi nutation[3]. Most of the observed effects are purely quantum features[4].
