    "abstract": "We present a time dependent quantum calculation of the scattering of a\nfew-photon pulse on a single atom. The photon wave packet is assumed to\npropagate in a transversely strongly confined geometry, which ensures strong\natom-light coupling and allows a quasi 1D treatment. The amplitude and phase of\nthe transmitted, reflected and transversely scattered part of the wave packet\nstrongly depend on the pulse length (bandwidth) and energy. For a transverse\nmode size of the order of $\\lambda^2$, we find nonlinear behavior for a few\nphotons already, or even for a single photon. In a second step we study the\ncollision of two such wave packets at the atomic site and find striking\ndifferences between Fock state and coherent state wave packets of the same\nphoton number.",
