Overview: • Motivation • Cavities • Single Emitters • Outlook
Qubits: • Photons (polarization) • Atom (2 energy levels) • Color Center • Quantum dots • Josephson junctions • … Quantum Computation & Communication Instead of classical bits using qubits = quantum mechanical 2 level system flying stationary Network: Problem: Low cross-section Between photon and atom
Cavity QED Jaynes Cummings Model: absorbtion of photon emission of photon energy of atom energy of cavity
Weak Coupling Still interesting Purcelleffekt: Enhancement of sponteneous emission rate • cavity changes vacuum field („offering the emitter distinguished modes“) • shorter lifetime of excited level of the emitter and emission in certain modes (i.e. the direction is fixed) • Enhancement rate is described by the Purcell factor
optical fiber flat dielectric mirror Some Numbers: curved dielectric mirror • Diameter of Fiber: 125 mm • Radius of curvature: 140 or 380 mm • Cavity length: 5 - 10 mm • Reflectivity of curved mirror: 98.5% • Reflectivity of flat mirror: 99.7% Cavities

Finesse 130 Voltage applied to Piezo which moves flat mirror Signal on Photodiode Some Measurements
Summery/Outlook • So far very promising results • Realization of Cavities • Observation of Single Emitters • Next steps: • Sample with reduced density of nanodiamonds • Lower background • Alternative Fiber production (shaping with an Ar+-Laser) in cooperation with the group of Jakob Reichel (Paris) • Smaller cavities • Putting the diamonds in the cavity
