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>.<Resolved-Sideband Raman Cooling of a Bound Atom to the 3D Zero-Point Energy by Christopher Monroe and others>[Abstract and Raman cooling sequence]{ref}
