C J. Myatt, B E. King, Q A. Turchette, C A. Sackett, D Kielpinski, Wayne M. Itano, C Monroe, David J. Wineland
The theory of quantum mechanics applies to closed systems. In such ideal situations, a single atom can, for example, exist simultaneously in a superposition of two different spatial locations. In contrast, real systems always interact with their

Sub-dekahertz spectroscopy of 199 Hg +

September 21, 2001

J. C. Bergquist, R J. Rafac, B. A. Young, James A. Beall, Wayne M. Itano, David J. Wineland
Using a laser that is frequency locked to a Fabry-Perot etalon of high finesse and stability, we probe the 5d 106s 2S = (F=0, m f=0) 5d 96s 2 2 d5/2 (F=2, m f=0) electric-quadrupole transition of a single laser-cooled 199Hg + ion stored in a cryogenic
