The simplest model in quantum optics deals with a single two‐level atom interacting with a single mode of the radiation field. This ideal situation is implemented in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) experiments, using high‐quality microwave or high‐finesse optical cavities as photon boxes. It provides a fruitful test bench for fundamental quantum processes and a promising ground for ...
