Multi-atom scaling of light-matter interactions in a fiber-coupled cavity — •Fabian Spallek and Stefan Yoshi Buhmann — Physikalisches Institut, Freiburg i.Br., Germany

The coupling of tightly controlled single resonant photons and transitions in neutral atoms in open fiber cavities allows for strongly coupled, highly coherent collective light-matter interaction rates. They could provide a high cooperativity, high-bandwidth, fiber-coupled channel for photonic interfaces such as quantum memories and single-photon sources [1]. We use methods from macroscopic Quantum Electrodynamic (QED) and Cavity-QED to investigate how the light-atom interactions depend on the positioning of the atoms with respect to the mode, which can be controlled by an optical dipole trap [2][3]. In this way, we can predict the collective Rabi frequency and the quantitative scaling of the observed Purcell enhancement for a given collection of trapped atoms. Similarities of these collective effects to superradiance in other settings are discussed.
