Recent developments towards photon-atom quantum interface are described. The quantum interface is realized by reversible time evolution of an atom-cavity coupled system. Proof of principle experiments have been demonstrated with neutral atoms recently. With trapped ions, the interface has not been realized yet, although single photon generation with tailored waveforms has been achieved in an ion-cavity system, in which a same calcium ion has been kept localized in a cavity for more than 90 minutes. Strategies towards the photon-ion quantum interface are described.
