Coherence properties and quantum state transportation in an optical conveyor belt
S. Kuhr, W. Alt, D. Schrader +7
We have prepared and detected quantum coherences with long dephasing times at the level of single trapped cesium atoms. Controlled transport by an "optical conveyor belt" over macr…
Single atoms in a standing-wave dipole trap
Wolfgang Alt, Dominik Schrader, Stefan Kuhr +3
We trap a single cesium atom in a standing-wave optical dipole trap. Special experimental procedures, designed to work with single atoms, are used to measure the oscillation freque…
An optical conveyor belt for single neutral atoms
Dominik Schrader, Stefan Kuhr, Wolfgang Alt +3
Using optical dipole forces we have realized controlled transport of a single or any desired small number of neutral atoms over a distance of a centimeter with sub-micrometer preci…
Quantum Fluctuations of a Single Trapped Atom: Transient Rabi Oscillations and Magnetic Bistability
H. Schadwinkel, V. Gomer, U. Reiter +2
Isolation of a single atomic particle and monitoring its resonance fluorescence is a powerful tool for studies of quantum effects in radiation-matter interaction. Here we present o…
Single Atoms in an Optical Dipole Trap: Towards a Deterministic Source of Cold Atoms
D. Frese, B. Ueberholz, S. Kuhr +4
We describe a simple experimental technique which allows us to store a small and deterministic number of neutral atoms in an optical dipole trap. The desired atom number is prepare…
Counting Cold Collisions
B. Ueberholz, S. Kuhr, D. Frese +2
We have experimentally explored a novel possibility to study exoergic cold atomic collisions. Trapping of small countable atom numbers in a shallow magneto-optical trap and monitor…
