Sub-ms, nondestructive, time-resolved quantum-state readout of a single, trapped neutral atom

Margaret E. Shea, Paul M. Baker, James A. Joseph +2

We achieve fast, nondestructive quantum-state readout via fluorescence detection of a single ${}^{87}$Rb atom in the 5$S_{1/2}$ ($F=2$) ground state held in an optical dipole trap. T…
