Single atom enables extraordinary light transmission through zero-mode waveguide<br>The integration of elementary quantum objects (atoms, molecules, and quantum dots) with solid-state nanostructures lies at the forefront of nano-optics, nanophotonics, and quantum information science. However, the advancement of this field is hindered by the lack of a rigorous and feasible theoretical framework for describing atom–nanostructure interactions, which are inherently complex and multi-parametric. In this work, we develop a theory of light transmission through a Zero-Mode Waveguide (ZMW) containing a single atom. It is shown that the presence of a single atom inside the ZMW can lead to either a significant enhancement or suppression of light transmission, depending on the detuning of the excitation field frequency from the atomic resonance. This extraordinary transmission and blocking effect can be employed for studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of atoms in complex nanoscopic environments, probing quantum optical phenomena, and developing novel nano-optical devices.

单原子实现零模波导（Zero-Mode Waveguide, ZMW）的异常光传输
将基础量子客体（原子、分子与量子点）与固态纳米结构相结合，是纳米光学、纳米光子学以及量子信息科学领域的前沿研究方向。然而，该领域的发展却受制于缺乏一套严谨且可行的理论框架来描述原子-纳米结构相互作用——这类相互作用本身具有复杂性与多参数特性。本研究构建了一套针对含单原子零模波导的光传输理论。研究表明，零模波导内部的单原子可根据激发场频率与原子共振频率的失谐量，实现光传输的显著增强或抑制。这种异常传输与阻断效应，可用于研究复杂纳米尺度环境中原子的时空动力学特性、探测量子光学现象，以及开发新型纳米光学器件。
