    "abstract": "We consider the use of a traveling wave probe to continuously measure the\nquantum state of an atom in free space. Unlike the more familiar cavity QED\ngeometry, the traveling wave is intrinsically a multimode problem. Using an\nappropriate modal decomposition we determine the effective measurement strength\nfor different atom-field interactions and different initial states of the\nfield. These include the interaction of a coherent-state pulse with an atom,\nthe interaction of a Fock-state pulse with an atom, and the use of Faraday\nrotation of a polarized laser probe to perform a QND measurement on an atomic\nspin.",
