A single atom coupled to a single mode of a radiation field is a fundamental system for studying the interaction of radiation with matter. The study of such systems has come to be called cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). Atoms coupled to a single mode of a resonator have been studied experimentally and theoretically in several interesting regimes since this basic system was first considered theoretically by Janes and Cummings. The objective of the present chapter is to provide a theoretical framework and present a unifying picture of the various phenomena which can occur in such a system. 35 refs., 11 figs.
