The 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland for their groundbreaking
work in developing experimental methods that measure and manipulate individual quantum
systems. Their methods, which have allowed the control of a system constituted of a single atom (ion)
and a single photon, have opened a wide variety of applications. As a tutorial, this article outlines the
fundamental concept of their Nobel-awarded methods: cavity quantum electrodynamics.
