Abstract
One path to quantum information processing involves light-matter interaction, such as light in a photonic-crystal waveguide coupled to a cloud of ultracold alkali atoms. However, to actually implement such a system, it is crucial to increase the coupling strength beyond what is presently achievable. The authors explain the design requirements to achieve large coupling by decreasing the group velocity of an edge mode in a hybrid-clad waveguide, allowing photons of ``slow light'' to interact with trapped cold atoms in a robust, chip-integrated setting.
