Atom-surface interactions with Rydberg atoms : an application to hybrid systems

This thesis focuses on theoretical quantum optics, with special emphasis on developing protocols in which engineered vacuum forces enable one to construct hybrid systems. In these systems, atoms are combined with solid-state devices in order to take advantage of their unique properties such as long...
