Quantum description of light-pulse scattering on a single atom in waveguides
Quantum description of light-pulse scattering on a single atom in waveguides
We present a time dependent quantum calculation of the scattering of a few-photon pulse on a single atom. The photon wave packet is assumed to propagate in a transversely strongly confined geometry, which ensures strong atom-light coupling and allows a quasi 1D treatment. The amplitude and phase of the transmitted, …
