Quantum transistor realized with a single $Λ$-level atom coupled to the microtoroidal cavity

Abstract: We propose a realization of the quantum transistor for coherent light fields for the fibre-coupled microdisk cavities. We demonstrate by combining numerical and analytical methods that both in strong coupling and bad cavity limits it is possible to change system's behaviour from being fully transparent to being fully reflective by varying the amplitude of the external control field. We remark that tuning the amplitude of the control field is significantly easier in the experimental setting than tuning cavity-atom coupling strength which was suggested in [Phys. Rev. A 90, 053822 (2014)] for two-level atoms and works only in the strong coupling limit. We also demonstrate the possibility of controlling the statistics of the input coherent field with the control field which opens the venue for obtaining quantum states of light.
