• Abstract summary: An optical tweezer composed of a strongly focused single-spatial-mode Gaussian beam of a red-detuned 1064-nm laser can confine a single-cesium atom at the strongest point of the light intensity. We can use this for coherent manipulation of single-quantum bits and single-photon sources.

• Abstract: An optical tweezer composed of a strongly focused single-spatial-mode Gaussian beam of a red-detuned 1064-nm laser can confine a single-cesium (Cs) atom at the strongest point of the light intensity. We can use this for coherent manipulation of single-quantum bits and single-photon sources. The trapping lifetime of the atoms in the optical tweezers is very short due to the impact of the background atoms, the laser intensity fluctuation of optical tweezer and the residual thermal motion of the atoms. In this paper, we analyzed the influence of the background pressure, the trap frequency of optical tweezers and the parametric heating of the optical tweezer on the atomic trapping lifetime. Combined with the external feedback loop based on an acousto-optical modulator (AOM), the intensity fluctuation of the 1064-nm laser in the time domain was suppressed from $\pm$ 3.360$\%$ to $\pm$ 0.064$\%$, and the suppression bandwidth reached approximately 33 kHz. The trapping lifetime of a single Cs atom in the microscopic optical tweezer was extended from 4.04 s to 6.34 s.

  We report trapping of single ultracold atom in an optical trap that can be continuously tuned from a standard Airy focus to a subwavelength hotspot smaller than the usual Abbe's diffraction limit. We argue that superoscillatory trapping and continuous potential tuning offer not only a way to generate compact and tenable ensembles of trapped atoms for quantum simulators but will also be useful in single molecule quantum chemistry.

The improvement arises from the realization of in-fiber Lambda-enhanced gray molasses and delta-kick cooling to cool atoms from 32 muK to below 1 muK in 4 ms. Our results permit bringing atoms close to source fields for sensing and could lead to compact inertial quantum sensors with a sub-millimeter resolution.
