Journal Article
Darquie, B., Jones, M., Dingjan, J., Beugnon, J., Bergamini, S., Sortais, Y., …Grangier, P. (2005). Controlled single photon emission from a single trapped two-level atom. Science, 309(5733), 454-456. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1113394

By illuminating an individual rubidium atom stored in a tight optical tweezer with short resonant light pulses, we created an efficient triggered source of single photons with a well-defined polarization. The measured intensity correlation of the emi... Read More about Controlled single photon emission from a single trapped two-level atom.
