1. A device for forming an optical trap, the device comprising:
a first optical cavity, said first optical cavity configured to form a first standing wave pattern, wherein said first standing wave pattern is two-dimensional;
a second optical cavity, said second optical cavity configured to form a second standing wave pattern, wherein said second standing wave pattern is one-dimensional; and
a chamber configured to hold one or more atoms disposed within a three-dimensional array of trapping potentials formed by an overlap between said first standing wave pattern and said second standing wave pattern.
