Efficient excitation of a two level atom by a single photon in a propagating mode

State mapping between atoms and photons, and photon-photon interactions play an important role in scalable quantum information processing. We consider the interaction of a two-level atom with a quantized \textit{propagating} pulse in free space and study the probability \(P_e(t)\) of finding the ato...
