Atoms with narrow-line resonances play a major role in high precision measurements like magnetometry and atomic clocks. Due to their long inherent coherence time, atoms can serve as quantum memories as well. Moreover, as they possess well-defined electronic levels, coherent interactions with the photon fields can be used to manipulate their quantum states very precisely. Besides, the capability of the optical excitation and read out, increase the spatial resolution of the atomic sensors. Within the last couple of decades interfacing atoms with engineered confined light fields has been a proper playground for investigating various quantum-electrodynamical effects. So far different strategies have been utilized successfully to integrate atoms with a confined light field, for example in high-finesse optical cavities, hollow core fibers, and tapered nanofibers. While cold atom setups provide ideal conditions and controllability to explore different coupling regimes, the large setups required to cool and trap the atoms have hindered their scalability for any realistic quantum networks. Thermal vapors, on the other hand, allow for less precision and control, but their low technical complexity and suitable compatibility with miniaturization and integration make them a promising candidate for realizing scalable networks.
