Abstract:
I will talk about energy-spectral analysis for
the system of a two-level atom coupled with photons in a cavity.
I will show that the Dicke-type energy level crossings take place
when the atom-cavity interaction of the system undergoes changes
between the weak coupling regime and the strong one.
Using the phenomenon of the crossings we develop the idea of
cavity-induced atom cooling proposed by the group of Ritsch.
