QUANTUM DEGENERATE ATOMIC GASES IN OPTICAL CAVITIES

This dissertation contains a study of ultracold atoms in optical cavities. We particularly focus on two aspects of the coupled atom-cavity systems. In the first aspect, we implement the quantum nature of the light field to probe the quantum state of the atoms. This is interesting due to the nondestr...
