Abstract
We have built a new apparatus in order to manipulate
single 87Rb atoms for quantum computing. Single atoms will be loaded
from a cold vapor into a microscopic dipole trap. Tests of the cooling
system are under progress and first fluorescence signals have been observed
in the magneto-optical trap. A high numerical aperture objective has been
designed to perform tight focusing of the trapping light as well as high
efficiency collection of the single atom fluorescence.
