Laser Cooling to the Zero-Point Energy of Motion

Diedrich, F., Bergquist, J. C., Itano, Wayne M., Wineland, D. J.·1989·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

A single trapped $^{198}\mathrm{Hg}^{+}$ ion was cooled by scattering laser radiation that was tuned to the resolved lower motional sideband of the narrow $^{2}S_{\frac{1}{2}}\ensuremath{-}^{2}D_{\frac{5}{2}}$ transition. The different absorption strengths on the upper and lower sidebands after cooling indicated that the ion was in the ground state of its confining well approximately 95% of the time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
