文章综述了基于原子冷却与俘获的单原子制备及其光学操控的基本实验原理及实验进展,并介绍了单原子制备及光学操控在量子寄存器、单光子源、原子-光子纠缠等方面的应用,简述了文章作者所在研究小组在单原子制备和光学操控方面的实验进展.
The basic principles and experimental progress in single atom preparation and optical manipulation based on atom cooling and trapping are summarized. The applications of single atoms in atomic quantum registers, single photon sources and atom- photon entanglement are briefly presented. The basic schemes and the status of our single atom experiments are also described.
