An experimental atomic physicist who coauthored resolved sideband cooling of a trapped ion close to its three-dimensional motional ground state. Raman transitions remove vibrational excitation in controlled steps, making the ion's quantized motion accessible for subsequent operations. Cooling the motion is crucial when it participates in coherent manipulation of trapped-ion qubits.[ref]
