note = {The subject of this work is the control of the quantum mechanical motional state of trapped neutral Cesium atoms. This is accomplished using a rarely considered method based on microwave radiation in combination with a spin dependent optical lattice potential. The setup used was designed to trap and to store on the order of ten atoms in a one dimensional optical lattice. Fluorescence imaging allows to determine both, the number and the position of the atoms. The spin degree of freedom is manipulated using microwave radiation and the trapping potential allows to shift the atoms to the 'left' or to the 'right' along the potential axis, depending on their spin orientation.
A microwave spectrum with a slightly displaced lattice exhibits sideband peaks corresponding to a change of the vibrational quantum number. This is the mechanism which introduces coupling between the spin and the motional degree of freedom. The work draws parallels to the usually used sideband technique based on optical transitions instead of microwaves and exploiting the photon recoil instead of a state dependent potential. Similar to the optical method the microwave based approach allows for the realization of a resolved-sideband cooling technique which efficiently prepares the atomic ensemble in the motional ground state. Starting from this purified quantum mechanical state, other interesting states are prepared using successive sideband transitions. The result of the preparation is probed by implementing filtering schemes for the motional state. With this control technique the experimental setup in total is capable to control the spin, the position along the one dimensional periodic potential and the vibrational state of the atoms.},
