Popis: Complete control of light-matter interactions at a single quantum level is critical for quantum science applications such as precision measurement and information processing. Nanophotonic devices, developed with recent advancements in nanofabrication techniques, can be used to tailor the interactions between single photons and atoms. One example of such a nanophotonic device is the optical nanofibre, which provides an excellent platform due to the strongly confined transverse light fields, long interaction length, low loss, and diverse optical modes. This facilitates a strong interaction between atoms and guided light, revealing chiral atom-light processes and the prospect of waveguide quantum electrodynamics. This paper highlights recent advances, experimental techniques, and future perspectives of the optical nanofibre-atom hybrid quantum platform.
