Nonlinear spectroscopy of photons bound to one atom

Nonlinear optics traditionally involves macroscopic atomic ensembles or solid-state crystals. The observation of a nonlinear two-photon resonance in a system consisting of one single atom trapped inside an optical cavity demonstrates nonlinear optics at the level of individual quanta.
