Description:

Abstract: Confining particles in hollow-core photonic crystal fibers has opened up new prospects to scale up the distance and time over which particles can be made to interact with light. Coherent manipulation of external and internal degrees of freedom of guided ultra-cold atoms in optical fibers has been attempted, with the aim of enhancing the performance of quantum experiments and to further develop miniaturized quantum devices. In this talk, I will show our recent works on coupling and guiding cold atoms in a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. I will present and discuss a few key cold atom experiments in this hollow-core waveguide environment, including atom interferometers, quantum memory, and non-classical state generation.
