Coupling a single trapped atom to a WGM microresonator — •Luke Masters1, Elisa Will2, Michael Scheucher2, Jürgen Volz1, and Arno Rauschenbeutel11Department of Physics, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany — 2Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology, TU Wien - Atominstitut, Austria

Strongly coupling single quantum emitters to the guided light field of Whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) resonators allows one to reach the strong coupling regime [1]. Furthermore, this setting provides chiral, i.e. propagation direction-dependent, light-matter coupling which can be employed for realising novel quantum devices [2, 3]. However, trapping atoms close to such resonators has not yet been demonstrated.

We demonstrate the trapping of single 85Rb atoms in the evanescent field of a bottle-microresonator using a standing wave optical dipole trap which is created by retroreflecting a tightly focused beam on the resonator surface [4]. Atoms confined in such trapping fields will experience a spatially varying ac-Stark shift that can exceed the resonator linewidth considerably. To remove this position-dependent shift of the transition frequency of the trapped atom, we implement a dual-colour magic-wavelength trapping technique. This allows one to tune the atomic transition back into resonance with the WGM resonator.
