@article{2010-karski-widera-new-j-phys-v12-p065027, Abstract = {We prepare arbitrary patterns of neutral atoms in a one-dimensional (1D) optical lattice with single-site precision using microwave radiation in a magnetic field gradient. We give a detailed account of the current limitations and propose methods to overcome them. Our results have direct relevance for addressing planes, strings or single atoms in higher-dimensional optical lattices for quantum information processing or quantum simulations with standard methods in current experiments. Furthermore, our findings pave the way for arbitrary single-qubit control with single-site resolution.}, Author = {Karski, M. AND Förster, L. AND Choi, J. AND Steffen, A. AND Belmechri, N.
