37. The final energy obtained by means of Doppler cooling in one dimension of single atoms in a trap depends on the internal transition quantum numbers, and for hyperfine states with selection rule (Formula presented) it is (Formula presented); see Ref. 8.

39. This argument is valid in the limit of low saturation. At saturation the antibunched nature of the atoms’ spontaneous emission plays a role by modifying the diffusion. See Ref. 8.
40. Phenomena due to interference between the internal paths of excitation, which lead to superradiance and subradiance effects, occur for distances between the ions of the order of the wavelength, when dipole-dipole interaction cannot be neglected.
