Abstract
In this paper, recent experiments of our group performed with single atoms in cavities and traps are summarized. In the first part, experiments with the one-atom maser are described dealing with the generation of number states of the photon field. In the second part of the paper, the spectroscopy of a single trapped In+ ion is discussed being performed with the aim of realizing a new frequency standard in the optical range.Keywords
