You see, I've been reading your blog for a little while, just haven't left a comment. The internet is weird, eh?<br /><br />Simon -- <i>Five</i> exclamation marks?<br /><br />Anyway, it's a little premature. When we actually get it working successfully in the new configuration (and then successfully launch the atoms upward... that's what the new configuration is for. And then succesfully hold them in a different type of trap above the original trap... Which happens to be inside a resonating optical cavity we hope to have successfully built by then... Well, you know, when we successfully <i>graduate</i>, that'll be the time for five exclamation marks.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090852893009703643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421975.post-18564120199033561682006-12-16T03:37:00.000-06:002006-12-16T03:37:00.000-06:00Congratulations!!!!!Congratulations!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421975.post-80778371054722964212006-12-12T12:49:00.000-06:002006-12-12T12:49:00.000-06:00Woohoo! A fellow "trapper". Well, I deal with ion...Woohoo! A fellow "trapper". Well, I deal with ion traps and not MOTs but still... I understand the awesomeness that is holding a bunch of atoms in a small area and making them bend to your will (insert *Mwahahaha* here ;)<br /><br />We aren't lucky enough to get to see ours though. That sounds pretty spectacular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
