@article{2006-miroshnychenko-rauschenbeutel-nature-v442-p151, Abstract = {Laser cooling and trapping techniques allow us to control and manipulate neutral atoms. Here we rearrange, with submicrometre precision, the positions and ordering of laser-trapped atoms within strings by manipulating individual atoms with optical tweezers. Strings of equidistant atoms created in this way could serve as a scalable memory for quantum information.}, Author = {Miroshnychenko, Y. AND Alt, W. AND Dotsenko, I. AND Förster, L.
