  title = {Trapping of Single Atoms in Cavity QED},
  abstract = {By integrating the techniques of laser cooling and trapping with those of cavity quantum
electrodynamics (QED), single cesium atoms have been trapped within the mode of a small, high
finesse optical cavity in a regime of strong coupling. The observed lifetime for individual atoms
trapped within the cavity mode is t ~ 28 ms, and is limited by fluctuations of light forces arising from
the far-detuned intracavity field. This initial realization of trapped atoms in cavity QED should enable
diverse protocols in quantum information science.},
