Single atoms and molecules can be trapped in tightly focused beams of light that form
'optical tweezers', affording exquisite capabilities for the control and detection of individual …

We demonstrate single-shot imaging and narrow-line cooling of individual alkaline-earth
atoms in optical tweezers; specifically, strontium trapped in 515.2-nm light. Our approach …

Optical tweezers provide a versatile platform for the manipulation and detection of single
atoms. Here, we use optical tweezers to demonstrate a set of tools for the microscopic …

Coherent control of high–quality factor optical transitions in atoms has revolutionized
precision frequency metrology. Leading optical atomic clocks rely on the interrogation of …

Currently, the most accurate and stable clocks use optical interrogation of either a single ion
or an ensemble of neutral atoms confined in an optical lattice. Here, we demonstrate a new …

Quantum gates and entanglement based on dipole–dipole interactions of neutral Rydberg
atoms are relevant to both fundamental physics and quantum information science. The …

We demonstrate single-atom resolved imaging with a survival probability of 0.99932 (8) and
a fidelity of 0.99991 (1), enabling us to perform repeated high-fidelity imaging of single …

Neutral alkaline earth (like) atoms have recently been employed in atomic arrays with
individual readout, control, and high-fidelity Rydberg-mediated entanglement. This …

Unlike the well-known Mott's argument that extended and localized states should not coexist
at the same energy in a generic random potential, we formulate the main principles and …

We report an experimental study of dynamics of the metastable 3 P 2 state of bosonic
ytterbium atoms in an optical lattice. The dissipative Bose-Hubbard system with on-site two …
