PROGRESS AND OUTLOOK

Demonstrated launching and catchingDesigned and constructed two integrated cavity-FORT systems

Designed, made, and installed a quadrupolar magnetic guide

Constructed an atomic beam and realized the optical frequencies for testing the Mechanisms behind capturing entangled photons and measuring Bell states. Used this beam to observe a process that can be used for phase teleportation.

Created two separate trap chambers, each with a cavity, and one with a magnetic guide.Cavities in each is close to the MOT, within range of launch and catch

PROGRESS SINCE LAST REVIEW

Established that optical guiding does not work well enough

Catch a single atom in each cavity-FORT systemDemonstrate the entanglement-capturing and Bell-state measuring mechanisms usingthe atomic beam

Attempt generation of distribruted entanglement by capturing a pair of entangled Photons, one in each cavity-FORT system

OUTLOOK BY SUMMER 2004

Demonstrate intracavity teleportation via sequential loading of two atoms in the same cavity , without requiring a source of entangled photons
