Abstract

A cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) system, which consists of an atom and photons confined in a cavity, is one of the most basic hybrid systems. In the strong coupling regime of cavity QED, quantum interaction between atoms and photons manifests itself, and it becomes possible to generate, manipulate, and measure quantum states of atom and light. Therefore, a cavity QED system is an ideal testbed for investigating quantum nature of atom and light. Recently, efforts have been made toward realization of a quantum network by connecting multiple cavity QED systems by optical fibers. However, it is technically challenging to connect a large number of conventional Fabry–Perot cavities with high efficiency. Here, we review novel all-fiber cavity QED systems based on optical nanofibers.
