IMPRS-APS: Light matter interaction at the level of one and no atom

  • Date: Feb 5, 2019
  • Time: 11:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Prof. Dr. Gerd Leuchs
  • Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Erlangen
  • Location: Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics
  • Room: Hörsaal, Raum B 0.32 / New lecture hall, Room B 0.32
In this talk, the exotic story of light matter interaction at the evel of one and even no atom is discussed. A single atom in free space can have significant effects on a single light beam producing e.g. sizeable phase shifts. Regarding the dynamics, a future goal is demonstrating time reversibility of spontaneous emission. But also without any atom, when studying empty space, there are intriguing concepts and future opportunities.
