We have realized an experiment in which a superconducting two-level system, playing the role of an artificial atom, is strongly coupled to a single photon stored in an on-chip cavity. We show that the atom-photon coupling in this circuit can be made strong enough for coherent effects to dominate over dissipation, even in a solid state environment. This new regime of matter light interaction in a circuit can be exploited for quantum information processing and quantum communication. It may also lead to new approaches for single photon generation and detection.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-07-13T13:03:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "circuit quantum electrodynamics", "cooper pair box", "single photon", "coherent coupling", "circuits behave quantum" ], "tags": [ "journal article", "famous paper" ], "publication": { "journal": "Nature", "year": 2004, "month": "Sep", "volume": 431, "number": 7005, "pages": 162 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004Natur.431..162W" } } }
