In this work, we optically resolve and detect individual rubidium atoms trapped in solid neon. Additionally, we optically pump the rubidium’s spin state using polarized light and measure the spin state via laser-induced fluorescence. When combined with the previously demonstrated magnetic field sensing capabilities of matrix- isolated rubidium atoms, these results are very promising for nanoscale sensing and for performing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of individual molecules cotrapped in the matrix.more » « less
