论文摘要
空腔量子电动力学(CQED)研究了依赖于谐振器和颗粒(例如原子)的光之间的相互作用。近年来,CQED实验已达到光学域,从而在量子信息处理领域中产生了许多有趣的应用。对于许多这些应用,有必要克服光子丢失施加的局限性。在这种情况下,窃窃私语模式(WGM)谐振器已经获得了巨大的兴趣。除了它们的小模式体积和超高质量外,它们还表现出有利的极化特性,从而引起了手性光的相互作用。在本章中,我们将讨论这些手性特征的起源和后果,并回顾该领域的最新成就。
Cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) investigates the interaction between light confined in a resonator and particles, such as atoms. In recent years, CQED experiments have reached the optical domain resulting in many interesting applications in the realm of quantum information processing. For many of these application it is necessary to overcome limitations imposed by photon loss. In this context whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators have obtained significant interest. Besides their small mode volume and their ultra high quality, they also exhibit favorable polarization properties that give rise to chiral light--matter interaction. In this chapter, we will discuss the origin and the consequences of these chiral features and we review recent achievements in this area.
