Abstract
In an aspect, the present disclosure provides methods and systems for forming optical traps. The optical traps may be three-dimensional optical traps. The methods and systems may comprise use of cavity based optical traps. A device for forming an optical trap may comprise a first optical cavity, said first optical cavity configured to form a first standing wave pattern, wherein said first standing wave pattern is one or two dimensional; a second optical cavity, said second optical cavity configured to form a second standing wave pattern; and a chamber configured to hold one or more atoms disposed within a three-dimensional trapping potential formed by at least said first standing wave pattern and said second standing wave pattern.
