Abstract
In an aspect, the present disclosure provides a method comprising providing a first optical trap and a second optical trap, trapping an atom in the first optical trap, identifying a presence of the atom in the first optical trap, and transferring the atom from the first optical trap to the second optical trap.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- (a) providing a first optical trap and a second optical trap of a plurality of optical traps, wherein a trapping potential of said second optical trap is not sufficient to load an atom from a cloud of atoms;
- (b) trapping an atom from said cloud of atoms in said first optical trap;
- (c) identifying a presence of said atom in said first optical trap;
- and
- (d) transferring said atom from said first optical trap to said second optical trap.

A method comprising:
- (a) providing a first optical trap and a second optical trap of a plurality of optical traps, wherein said second optical trap comprises at least a first atom;
- (b) exciting said first atom in said second optical trap with a light beam to generate a shelved atom;
- and
- (c) transferring a second atom into said first optical trap while said shelved atom is in said second optical trap, wherein, during said transferring, said second optical trap comprises a shallower trapping energy than said first optical trap.
