Generation of Non-Classical Motional States of a Trapped Atom

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

D M. Meekhof, C Monroe, B E. King, Wayne M. Itano, David J. Wineland

We report the creation of thermal, Fock, coherent, and squeezed states of motion of a harmonically bound 9Be+ ion. The last three states are coherently prepared...

A Schrödinger Cat" Superposition State of an Atom

January 1, 1996

Author(s)

C Monroe, D M. Meekhof, B E. King, David J. Wineland

A "Schrödinger cat"-like state of matter was generated at the single atom level. A trapped 9Be+ ion was laser-cooled to the zero-point energy and then prepared...
