Trapping and Manipulation of Isolated Atoms Using Nanoscale Plasmonic Structures

Trapping and Manipulation of Isolated Atoms Using Nanoscale Plasmonic Structures

We propose and analyze a scheme to interface individual neutral atoms with nanoscale solid-state systems. The interface is enabled by optically trapping the atom via the strong near-field generated by a sharp metallic nanotip. We show that under realistic conditions, a neutral atom can be trapped wi...
