Cold atoms in cavity-generated dynamical optical potentials
Helmut Ritsch, Peter Domokos, Ferdinand Brennecke, and Tilman Esslinger

When an atomic particle is placed inside a high-finesse electromagnetic cavity and is coupled to its radiation field, a rich nonlinear dynamics arises. This review describes recent advances in this research field, from both the theoretical and experimental points of view. At the single atom level, it presents novel cooling schemes that are applicable to any polarizable particle. It also addresses the situation where many atoms are simultaneously present in the cavity, in which case spectacular collective phenomena can occur, from superradiant light scattering to the formation of supersolids.
