Research team members Hansub Hwang (left) and Andrew Byun (right) are pictured with the optical setup used to create free-flying atoms. For throwing, a trap holding an atom is accelerated and then turned off, which causes the atom to launch out of the trap. Another trap is then turned on to capture the incoming atom and decelerated until the atom stops completely.
