Because of how quantum mechanics works, gaps between the bands are forbidden zones, requiring energy values that no atom in the lattice can attain.

The trick relies on matching the laser energy to the gap between two of the atom's energy levels — which is much harder with molecules as their energies are more complex.

Central part of the experimental setup: A single atom is trapped in the narrow gap between two highly reflecting mirrors (light blue) that form an optical resonator.
