Fiber-optical switch controlled by a single atom.

Physical review letters

O'Shea D, Junge C, Volz J, Rauschenbeutel A.
PMID: 24266471
Phys Rev Lett. 2013 Nov 08;111(19):193601. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.193601. Epub 2013 Nov 04.

We demonstrate highly efficient switching of optical signals between two optical fibers controlled by a single atom. The key element of our experiment is a whispering-gallery-mode bottle microresonator, which is coupled to a single atom and interfaced by two...

Quantum state-controlled directional spontaneous emission of photons into a nanophotonic waveguide.

Nature communications

Mitsch R, Sayrin C, Albrecht B, Schneeweiss P, Rauschenbeutel A.
PMID: 25502565
Nat Commun. 2014 Dec 12;5:5713. doi: 10.1038/ncomms6713.

The spin of light in subwavelength-diameter waveguides can be orthogonal to the propagation direction of the photons because of the strong transverse confinement. This transverse spin changes sign when the direction of propagation is reversed. Using this effect, we...

Submicrometer position control of single trapped neutral atoms.

Physical review letters

Dotsenko I, Alt W, Khudaverdyan M, Kuhr S, Meschede D, Miroshnychenko Y, Schrader D, Rauschenbeutel A.
PMID: 16090739
Phys Rev Lett. 2005 Jul 15;95(3):033002. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.033002. Epub 2005 Jul 13.

We optically detect the positions of single neutral cesium atoms stored in a standing wave dipole trap with a subwavelength resolution of 143 nm rms. The distance between two simultaneously trapped atoms is measured with an even higher precision...

Thermalization via heat radiation of an individual object thinner than the thermal wavelength.

Physical review letters

Wuttke C, Rauschenbeutel A.
PMID: 23889407
Phys Rev Lett. 2013 Jul 12;111(2):024301. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.024301. Epub 2013 Jul 09.

Modeling and investigating the thermalization of microscopic objects with arbitrary shape from first principles is of fundamental interest and may lead to technical applications. Here, we study, over a large temperature range, the thermalization dynamics due to far-field heat...

Wavelength-scale errors in optical localization due to spin-orbit coupling of light.

Nature physics

Araneda G, Walser S, Colombe Y, Higginbottom DB, Volz J, Blatt R, Rauschenbeutel A.
PMID: 30854021
Nat Phys. 2019 Jan;15(1):17-21. doi: 10.1038/s41567-018-0301-y. Epub 2018 Oct 15.

Far-field optical imaging techniques allow the determination of the position of point-like emitters and scatterers [1-3]. Although the optical wavelength sets a fundamental limit to the image resolution of unknown objects, the position of an individual emitter can in...

Chiral quantum optics.

Nature

Lodahl P, Mahmoodian S, Stobbe S, Rauschenbeutel A, Schneeweiss P, Volz J, Pichler H, Zoller P.
PMID: 28128249
Nature. 2017 Jan 25;541(7638):473-480. doi: 10.1038/nature21037.

Advanced photonic nanostructures are currently revolutionizing the optics and photonics that underpin applications ranging from light technology to quantum-information processing. The strong light confinement in these structures can lock the local polarization of the light to its propagation direction,...

Strong coupling between single atoms and nontransversal photons.

Physical review letters

Junge C, O'Shea D, Volz J, Rauschenbeutel A.
PMID: 23745874
Phys Rev Lett. 2013 May 24;110(21):213604. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.213604. Epub 2013 May 22.

Light is often described as a fully transverse-polarized wave, i.e., with an electric field vector that is orthogonal to the direction of propagation. However, light confined in dielectric structures such as optical waveguides or whispering-gallery-mode microresonators can have a...

Imaging and Localizing Individual Atoms Interfaced with a Nanophotonic Waveguide.

Physical review letters

Meng Y, Liedl C, Pucher S, Rauschenbeutel A, Schneeweiss P.
PMID: 32794877
Phys Rev Lett. 2020 Jul 31;125(5):053603. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.053603.

Single particle-resolved fluorescence imaging is an enabling technology in cold-atom physics. However, so far, this technique has not been available for nanophotonic atom-light interfaces. Here, we image single atoms that are trapped and optically interfaced using an optical nanofiber....

A complementarity experiment with an interferometer at the quantum-classical boundary.

Nature

Bertet P, Osnaghi S, Rauschenbeutel A, Nogues G, Auffeves A, Brune M, Raimond JM, Haroche S.
PMID: 11346787
Nature. 2001 May 10;411(6834):166-70. doi: 10.1038/35075517.

To illustrate the quantum mechanical principle of complementarity, Bohr described an interferometer with a microscopic slit that records the particle's path. Recoil of the quantum slit causes it to become entangled with the particle, resulting in a kind of...

Ultra-sensitive surface absorption spectroscopy using sub-wavelength diameter optical fibers.

Optics express

Warken F, Vetsch E, Meschede D, Sokolowski M, Rauschenbeutel A.
PMID: 19547558
Opt Express. 2007 Sep 17;15(19):11952-8. doi: 10.1364/oe.15.011952.

The guided modes of sub-wavelength diameter air-clad optical fibers exhibit a pronounced evanescent field. The absorption of particles on the fiber surface is therefore readily detected via the fiber transmission. We show that the resulting absorption for a given...

Dispersive optical interface based on nanofiber-trapped atoms.

Physical review letters

Dawkins ST, Mitsch R, Reitz D, Vetsch E, Rauschenbeutel A.
PMID: 22242999
Phys Rev Lett. 2011 Dec 09;107(24):243601. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.243601. Epub 2011 Dec 07.

We dispersively interface an ensemble of 1000 atoms trapped in the evanescent field surrounding a tapered optical nanofiber. This method relies on the azimuthally asymmetric coupling of the ensemble with the evanescent field of an off-resonant probe beam, transmitted...
