This is in contrast to the six beams required to trap neutral atoms.
Furthermore, neutral atoms and even molecules have been shown to be wave-like.
This can not occur for neutral atoms whose low-lying bound states are already filled.
A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as protons.
Traps for neutral atoms come in three different flavors.
He and his associates first demonstrated laser cooling of neutral atoms in 1981.
Ionization is the process by which neutral atoms are converted to charged species.
And, of course, it is another nice tool for quantum computing with neutral atoms.
The neutral atoms do not move in an electric field.
Electron configurations of the neutral gaseous atoms in the ground state.
