Controlled absorption of a single photon by a single atom via adiabatic transfer — Luigi Giannelli¹, •Tom Schmit¹, Susanne Blum^1,4, Daniel M. Reich^2,3, Christiane P. Koch², Tommaso Calarco⁵, and Giovanna Morigi¹ — ¹Universität des Saarlandes, 66123 Saarbrücken, Germany — ²Universität Kassel, 34132 Kassel, Germany — ³Aarhus University, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark — ⁴Theodor-Heuss-Gymnasium, 73730 Esslingen am Neckar, Germany — ⁵Universität Ulm, 89069 Ulm, Germany

We analyse the dynamics of a single photon propagating in free space and incident on the mirror of an optical cavity, in which an atom is localized and characterise both numerically as well as analytically the efficiency of protocols which achieve photon absorption by adiabatic transfer [1-3] as a function of dissipative processes and of fluctuations in the experimental parameters. We further characterize the efficiency of the protocols when the signal is an attenuated laser pulse.
