Single Atoms with 6000-Second Trapping Lifetimes in Optical-Tweezer Arrays at Cryogenic Temperatures

چکیده
We report on the trapping of single $\mathrm{Rb}$ atoms in tunable arrays optical tweezers a cryogenic environment at approximately 4 K. describe design and construction experimental apparatus, based custom-made UHV-compatible closed-cycle cryostat with access. demonstrate tweezers, lifetimes up to 6000 s, despite fact that vacuum system has not been baked out. These results open way large extended coherence, for applications large-scale quantum simulation many-body systems and, more generally, science technology.

Optical tweezer arrays and optical substrates created with diffractive optics
We describe a simple method for creating multiple optical tweezers from a single laser beam using diffractive optical elements. As a demonstration of this technique, we have implemented a 434 square array of optical tweezers—the hexadeca tweezer. Not only will diffractively generated optical tweezers facilitate many new experiments in pure and applied physics, but they also will be useful for f...
متن کاملColloidal transport through optical tweezer arrays.
Viscously damped particles driven past an evenly spaced array of potential energy wells or barriers may become kinetically locked in to the array, or else may escape from the array. The transition between locked-in and free-running states has been predicted to depend sensitively on the ratio between the particles' size and the separation between wells. This prediction is confirmed by measuremen...

متن کاملTrapping of single atoms with single photons in cavity QED
Two recent experiments have reported the trapping of individual atoms inside optical resonators by the mechanical forces associated with single photons @Hood et al., Science 287, 1447 ~2000!; Pinkse et al., Nature ~London! 404, 365 ~2000!#. Here we analyze the trapping dynamics in these settings, focusing on two points of interest. First, we investigate the extent to which light-induced forces ...
متن کاملAtoms at finite temperatures
These are working notes written as a first step in understanding atomic potentials and atomic structure in finite-temperature systems. 1 Thomas-Fermi Theory As a first step, we consider the Thomas-Fermi theory at finite temperatures. This is my version of the discussion of temperature-dependent Thomas-Fermi theory given in the seminal work of Feynman, Metropolis, and Teller [1]. Later, we will ...
