Nonadiabatic effects of atomic motion inside a high- Q optical cavity
Peng Zhang, Y. Li, C. P. Sun, Li You · Physical Review A · 2004
We revisit the topic of atomic center of mass motion of a three level atom Raman coupled strongly to an external laser field and the quantum field of a high-$Q$ optical cavity. We focus on the motion related nonadiabatic effects of the atomic internal dynamics and provide a quantitative answer to the validity regime for the application of the motional insensitive dark state as recently suggested by Duan, Kuzmich, and Kimble [Phys. Rev. A 67, 032305 (2003)].
