# Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics with Quantum Interference in a Three-level Atomic System

## TL;DR

This paper explores how quantum interference effects in a three-level atomic system can significantly reduce decay rates, potentially eliminating the need for high-finesse cavities in cavity QED experiments.

## Contribution

It demonstrates that spontaneously generated coherence and enhanced dispersion can lower decay rates, enabling simpler cavity designs in quantum electrodynamics.

## Key findings

- Reduced radiative and cavity decay rates due to quantum interference
- Potential to eliminate high-finesse cavities in experiments
- Enhanced dispersion effects in three-level systems

## Abstract

Spontaneously generated coherence and enhanced dispersion in a V-type, three-level atomic system interacting with a single mode field can considerably reduce the radiative and cavity decay rates. This may eliminate the use of high finesse, miniaturized cavities in optical cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments under strong atom-field coupling conditions.
