Strong magnetic coupling of an ultracold gas to a superconducting waveguide cavity
Abstract
Placing an ensemble of $10^6$ ultracold atoms in the near field of a superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator (CPWR) with $Q \sim 10^6$ one can achieve strong coupling between a single microwave photon in the CPWR and a collective hyperfine qubit state in the ensemble with $g_\textit{eff} / {2 π} \sim 40$ kHz larger than the cavity line width of $κ/{2 π} \sim 7$ kHz. Integrated on an atomchip such a system constitutes a hybrid quantum device, which also can be used to interconnect solid-state and atomic qubits, to study and control atomic motion via the microwave field, observe microwave super-radiance, build an integrated micro maser or even cool the resonator field via the atoms.
