In this thesis, scattering of light from two single atoms into the quantized light mode of an optical resonator is studied experimentally. The atoms are spatially confined to discrete positions by a two-dimensional optical lattice and their positions are detected by single-site resolved imaging. Saturation of fluorescence for constructive interference and preferred emission of photon pairs for destructive interference of the partial fields scattered from the two atoms are found in quantitative agreement with a theoretical treatment.
