The experimental realization of an efficient interface between propagating photons and a scalable number of single quantum emitters is one of the major challenges at the forefront of quantum optics. Such a system would allow one to study intriguing many-body effects relying on cooperative phenomena and polaritonic excitations. Here, we present a solid-state platform, where we demonstrate the coherent coupling of single molecules to a highly confined mode in a dielectric waveguide of subwavelength diameter [1]. Our current nanocapillary-based system can deliver coupling efficiencies (β) up to 18%. We discuss our experimental results, the prospects of our approach, and the ongoing efforts for achieving higher coupling efficiencies in a chip-compatible geometry.
