Abstract
The interaction of an atom with the intracavity field of a micromaser will, in general leave the atom-field system in an entangled state. Th e long cavity lifetime means that the memory of this entanglement can persist and influence the interaction with subsequent atoms. We show h ow non-local correlations between successive atoms can be induced lead ing to a violation of Bell's inequality.
