Abstract
In cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) [1], one alters the mode of the electromagnetic field in a resonator to obtain such novel effects as inhibited or enhanced irreversible spontaneous emission, reversible spontaneous emission, micromaser action, and “quantum collapse and revivals.” This new line of investigation has numerous ramifications. In particular it impacts the generation of nonclassical fields, the study of the quantum/classical correspondence, nonlinear dynamics, and quantum measurement theory.
