New method pinpoints the 3D location of cold atoms in a lattice . 10 Apr 2024 Isabelle Dumé The image of an atom produced by a quantum gas microscope is normally a round, slightly blurred speck. In this theoretically predicted image, the atom is distorted into a dumbbell shape, and the direction in which the dumbbell is pointing gives the atom's z coordinate. (Courtesy: IAP/University of...
