Technically, you only need six to do laser cooling, but it’s always nice to be able to look at the atoms from other directions, and to be able to shine in additional laser beams to probe the atoms. The chamber that’s on there is probably overkill, but I wanted to be as flexible as possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I must pick a nit here (I must, I must), “Name That Tune” style.
