title = "Probing a Single Isolated Electron: New Measurements of the Electron Magnetic Moment and the Fine Structure Constant",
abstract = "For these measurements one electron is suspended for months at a time within a cylindrical Penning trap [1], a device that was invented long ago just for this purpose. The cylindrical Penning trap provides an electrostatic quadrupole potential for trapping and detecting a single electron [2]. At the same time, it provides a right, circular microwave cavity that controls the radiation field and density of states for the electron{\textquoteright}s cyclotron motion [3].",
