We measure the spacing of the levels and the population distribution, and find the atoms to be localized to 1\/15 of the optical wave-length. We find up to 60% of the population of trapped atoms in the vibrational ground state. The dependence of the spectrum on the parameters of the optical field provides detailed information about the dynamics of laser-cooled atoms.<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/previous-publications\/\">Back<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2022\/12\/old_04_quant_mot.pdf\">Full Text<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Observation of Quantized Motion of Rb Atoms in an Optical Field<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":245,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-49","category-abstracts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/245"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":459,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451\/revisions\/459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/pjessen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
