摘要: We have implemented the Gedanken experiment of an individual atom scattering a wave packet near-resonant light, and measured associated Wigner time delay as function frequency light. In our apparatus, behaves two-level system we found delays large 42 ns at resonance, limited by lifetime excited state. This is important parameter in problem collective ensemble interacting particles, which encountered many areas physics.
