In this video, I present the latest results obtained with our cavity QED setup where an ensemble of cold atoms is trapped in a fiber-based Fabry-Perot cavity, deep in the strong coupling regime. We have observed cavity protected polaritons in the form of two transmissions peaks of the atoms-cavity system, their linewidth being much narrower than the inhomogeneously-broadened atomic frequency distribution. This effect, which was previously observed in solid-state systems, can be reproduced here with tunable experimental parameters and holds great prospects for preserving coherence in large inhomogeneous quantum systems with possible applications to the field of quantum memories.
