interactions in great detail. The effects we investigate range from thermally induced spin flips [1] to spatial decoherence [2] and Casimir-Polder forces. More recently, we are beginning to understand [...] s. Recently, we found evidence of directional spontaneous emission of atoms near a nanofiber [5].
