The refractive index of a single atom experienced by a single photon
Description:
Article describes how the refractive index of a system is often viewed as the collective response of a medium to an electromagnetic field. By studying the propagation of a single photon interacting with a two-level atom, the authors examine the dispersion behavior, calculate the phase and group velocity of the photon wave packet, and further analyze the dispersion experienced by the photon.
