Homodyne tomography of a single photon retrieved on demand from a cavity-enhanced cold atom memory

We experimentally demonstrate that a nonclassical state prepared in an atomic memory can be efficiently transferred to a single mode of free-propagating light. By retrieving on demand a single excitation from a cold atomic gas, we realize an efficient source of single photons prepared in a pure, ful...
