Artist's impression of the cooling device: An atom is cooled by a standing-wave light field between two high-quality mirrors. Cavity cooling avoids the usual light scatter into the surroundings. Instead, the light leaking out of the mirrors is blue-shifted to a higher frequency (Credit: Pepijn Pinkse, Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics)
