Abstract:

Recently discovered light forces in high-finesse microcavities are ideal to capture single atoms, cool them to ultralow temperatures and trap them for long time intervals. Individual atoms at rest and strongly coupled to a cavity are interesting in quantum information science. Cavity cooling might also be useful to produce cold samples of particles like molecules which have no closed cycling transition for laser cooling. © 2005 World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract:

Quantum computing with atoms in optical cavities requires a precisely tunable atomcavity coupling. This has now been achieved by means of a dipole-force trap transporting single atoms perpendicular to the cavity axis. © 2003 Optical Society of America.
