An optical conveyor belt for single neutral atoms
Applied Physics B: Lasers and Optics 73, 819–824 (2001)
Using optical dipole forces we have realized controlled transport of a single or any desired small number of neutral atoms over a …
Deterministic delivery of a single atom
Science 293, 278–280 (2001)
We report the realization of a deterministic source of single atoms. A standing-wave dipole trap is Loaded with one or any desired …
Single atoms in an optical dipole trap: towards a deterministic source of cold atoms
Physical Review Letters 85, 3777–3780 (2000)
We describe a simple experimental technique which allows us to store a small and deterministic number of neutral atoms in an optical …
Counting cold collisions
Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics 33, L135 (2000)
We have explored experimentally a novel possibility to study exoergic cold atomic collisions. Trapping of small countable atom numbers …
