An experimental researcher whose joint work cooled a trapped <beryllium> ion close to its three-dimensional motional <ground state>. <Resolved sideband cooling> uses transitions that remove vibrational quanta. Preparing this low-excitation motion makes later control of internal and motional quantum states more reliable.<Resolved-Sideband Raman Cooling of a Bound Atom to the 3D Zero-Point Energy by Christopher Monroe and others>[pp. 4011–4014: stimulated Raman sidebands and ground-state populations]{ref}
