Manipulation of single atom motion in a few-photon optical cavity field

Abstract

Cavity-QED schemes provide a means of producing a very strong coupling between atoms and few-photon light fields. Laser cooling and trapping techniques enable one to produce sources of slowly-moving atoms. When such atoms enter a cavity interaction times with the light field can obviously be very long and one can expect that the atomic motion will be significantly modified during the interaction. Here, I consider such a situation with particular emphasis on cooling and possibly trapping atoms in a cavity excited with a very small mean number of photons (typically less than one).
