The field of quantum optics has experienced remarkable experimental developments during the past decades (1–3). Progress in controlling single quantum emitters, such as trapped atoms or ions, and the ability to tailor the mode structure of the electromagnetic radiation field using high finesse cavities has enabled new possibilities in studying resonant light‐matter interactions. This led to a variety of remarkable experiments (4–6) probing the interaction between single quantum emitters and selected modes of the radiation field and ...
