Atom-light interactions in photonic crystals

Abstract

New paradigms for strong atom-photon interactions would emerge by trapping arrays of atoms in one and two-dimensional photonic crystals. Bringing this future to fruition requires the creation of an interdisciplinary“toolkit“ for the control, manipulation, and interaction of atoms and photons with a complexity and scalability not currently possible.
