Interaction of a single atom with an optomechanical resonator — •Juan Mauricio Torres and Marc Bienert — Theoretische Physik, Universität des Saarlandes, D-66041 Saarbrücken, Germany

We study the dynamics of a Fabry-Perot cavity with a pendular end mirror coupled to an atomic dipole. The system is driven by an external laser and dissipates due to cavity losses and atomic fluorescence. We focus on the good cavity limit where the fluorescence can be suppressed by quantum interference between the cavity and atomic degree of freedom. For this case we analyze the spectrum of the scattered light which is dominated by features due to the mechanical interaction with the movable mirror. We discuss how to extract information about the motional state of the mirror and the possibilities of interfacing the atomic with the mechanical degree of freedom.
