Description Atomic systems are a particularly promising candidate for Quantum Information Processing (QIP) applications. Proposals build on the highly refined techniques for manipulating both the internal and external states of the atom and the relative ease by which to isolate individual qubits from their environment. An important aspect of research in this field is the interfacing of atoms and photons at the single atom single photon level. Photons are a natural choice for long range communication between distance nodes and atoms have well established record for long term storage of quantum information. Thus interfacing photons and atoms would provide a best of both worlds scenario. This important paradigm is at the heart of cavity QED systems which provide the necessary coherent interaction between single atoms and single photons and a number of proposals exist for establishing long distance communication and entanglement. This work focuses on establishing an atom photon interface utilizing cavity QED.
