Individual Trapped Atoms for Cavity QED Quantum Information Applications

To utilize a single atom as a quantum bit for a quantum computer requires exquisite control over the internal and external degrees of freedom. This thesis develops techniques for controlling the external degrees of freedom of individual atoms. In the first part of this thesis, individual atoms are t...
