Abstract:
In the past few years we have been building an experimental system that will enable deterministic interactions between single photons and single atoms, with the ultimate goal being the demonstration of photon-photon interactions. This system is finally operational today, and has unique capabilities that should bring this goal to within our reach. I will tell about our system and its capabilities, describe briefly the experiments we already performed, and finally focus on the experiments we are running today and show preliminary results.
