Microscale integrated atom-photon junction — •Elisa Da Ros, Jonathan Nute, Pierre Jouve, Vineetha Naniyil, Daniele Bandolini, Nathan Cooper, and Lucia Hackermüller — Nottingham University, United Kingdom

The goal of this project is to develop a highly integrated and scalable device for coherently interfacing light and matter with potential applications in quantum memory and quantum sensing. Our system relies on the interaction between photons guided through a single-mode optical fiber and an ensemble of cold Cs atoms tightly confined by an optical dipole trap, formed in a microscopic void that has been laser etched through the fibre itself. This device is a prototype for the insertion of cold atoms into otherwise purely photonic systems such as optical waveguide chips.
