Optical spin readout of single rubidium atoms trapped in solid neon

In this work, we optically resolve and detect individual rubidium atoms trapped in solid neon. Additionally, we optically pump the rubidium's spin state using polarized light and measure the spin state via laser-induced fluorescence. When combined with the previously demonstrated magnetic field...
