note = {This thesis presents experiments concerning the preparation and manipulation of single neutral atoms in optical traps. The experimental setup as well as the properties of the optical dipole trap are described. The examination and control of all trapping parameters and heating effects is a prerequisite for the future realization of quantum gates.
A magneto-optical trap captures and cools down a few cesium atoms. By efficiently detecting their fluorescence, we are able to determine their exact number. They are then transferred without loss into a standing-wave optical dipole trap. The temperature of the atoms in this trap is measured using two methods which are devised to work with small numbers of atoms: By adiabatically lowering the trap depth, an energy-selective loss of atoms is obtained, which yields the energy distribution of the atoms in the trap. Alternatively, the temperature is inferred from the size of the cloud and from the oscillation frequencies of the atoms in the dipole trap. The oscillation frequencies are determined using resonant and parametric excitation. Various intrinsic as well as technical heating mechanisms in the dipole trap are examined experimentally and theoretically.
Finally, the setup of a miniature ultra-high finesse optical resonator is presented, which will be used to couple two trapped atoms via the exchange of a photon. The optical resonance frequency of the resonator is successfully stabilized to the atomic transition by an electronic servo loop.},
