Nonlinear photon-atom coupling with 4Pi microscopy

Nonlinear photon-atom coupling with 4Pi microscopy

Strong atom-photon coupling has applications in deterministic quantum logic, but is difficult to achieve in free-space. Here, Chin et al. use 4Pi microscopy to increase the coupling between light and a single atom, demonstrating nonlinear single-photon interactions.
