    "abstract": "Isolation of a single atomic particle and monitoring its resonance\nfluorescence is a powerful tool for studies of quantum effects in\nradiation-matter interaction. Here we present observations of quantum dynamics\nof an isolated neutral atom stored in a magneto-optical trap. By means of\nphoton correlations in the atom\u0027s resonance fluorescence we demonstrate the\nwell-known phenomenon of photon antibunching which corresponds to transient\nRabi oscillations in the atom. Through polarization-sensitive photon\ncorrelations we show a novel example of resolved quantum fluctuations:\nspontaneous magnetic orientation of an atom. These effects can only be observed\nwith a single atom.",
