Coherent interaction of single quantum emitters in a one-dimensional waveguide — Sanli Faez, •Pierre Türschmann, Stephan Götzinger, and Vahid Sandoghdar — Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and Friedrich Alexander University, Erlangen, Germany

The coherent interaction of propagating photons and single emitters has become of great interest during the last years because of its potential application in quantum information science. Recently, several theoretical and experimental studies have considered the coupling of atoms to guided modes. Such a system is expected to show intriguing new bound states of light and matter. In our laboratory, we investigate these phenomena by using organic molecules embedded in an organic matrix that is placed in the core of a hollow fiber. At cryogenic temperatures of 1.4 K the scattering cross section of the emitters approaches their theoretical limit, which is comparable with the fiber mode cross section, thus allowing an efficient interaction with the guided photons. We present first results of the coherent coupling of single molecules to the fiber mode and discuss various ideas that exploit this interaction.
