Title: Nonclassical light – getting more of it out of a single atom

Abstract:
In this talk I present some novel proposals for the generation of nonclassical light in single-atom cavity QED that are offered by the intrinsic multilevel structure of a real atom. This includes a deterministic source of N-photon pulses, as well as continuous sources of Wigner-negative light and quadrature-squeezed light.
