Light forces in cavity QED

The modification of light forces within an optical resonator provides for new possibilities to trap and cool neutral atoms. The paper is about the atom-atom correlations in the extreme case as well as in the limit of large number of atoms. All atoms in the cavity are simultaneously coupled to the same field modes as dissipation channels. This induces atomic cross-talk via the cavity field and influences the cooling process of one atom by the motion of the others.
