Recent efforts have sought to realize compact and highly manufacturable atomic vapors and atomic beams for chip-scale magnetometry and atomic clocks. Here, we show that a chip-scale rubidium beam source can be integrated with a high finesse cavity-QED system to generate non-classical light. By demonstrating the compatibility of these two technologies, we open a new path for distributed sources of non-classical light and set the stage for using cavity-QED to enhance the performance of chip-scale magnetometers and atomic clocks.}, year = {2025}, month = {may}, publisher = {arXiv}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/2506.00199}, doi = {10.48550/arXiv.2506.00199}, note = {arXiv:2506.00199 [physics]}, }
