Abstract

Circular Rydberg atoms strongly coupled to superconducting millimeter-wave cavities make it possible to realize experiments on fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. Resonant and dispersive atom-field interactions provide ways to realize quantum states swapping and conditional quantum dynamics. They can be used to produce non local correlations and complex, tailored, entangled quantum states in many particle systems. Fundamental test of quantum mechanics are now within the reach of cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments.
