Abstract
We investigate optimal conditions for the quantum interface between a signal photon pulse and one-dimensional chain consisting of a varied number of atoms. The tested object is physically designed as an atomic array of tripod-type atoms confined with a nanoscale dielectric waveguide and experiencing its fundamental mode. The efficiency of interaction is mainly limited by achieved overlap and coupling of the waveguide evanescent field with the trapped atoms. We verify those physical conditions when the coupling within the main scattering channels would be sufficient for further providing various elementary interface protocols such as light storage, light-matter entanglement, preparation of a few photon states on demand.
