Atomic, molecular and optical physics

a trap for neutral atoms that combines counter-propagating laser beams with a magnetic field gradient to give a position-dependent restoring force.

In atomic, molecular and optical physics, magneto-optical trap refers to a trap for neutral atoms that combines counter-propagating laser beams with a magnetic field gradient to give a position-dependent restoring force. This meaning comes from Raab (1987) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
