An atomic-physics researcher whose joint work demonstrated resolved sideband cooling of a bound ion to near the lowest available motional energy. Resolving individual vibrational sidebands lets light selectively remove excitation, extending laser cooling from a broad temperature reduction to preparation of a particular quantum state.[ref]
Resolved-Sideband Raman Cooling of a Bound Atom to the 3D Zero-Point Energy by Christopher Monroe and others. pp. 4011–4014: Raman sidebands and motional-state preparation
