A scheme for addressing individual atoms in one- or two-dimensional opticallattices loaded with one atom per site is proposed. The scheme is based onposition-dependent atomic population transfer induced by several standing-wavedriving fields. This allows various operations important in quantum informationprocessing, such as manipulation and measurement of any single atom, two-qubitoperations between any pair of adjacent atoms, and patterned loading of thelattice with one atom per every nth site for arbitrary n. The proposed schemeis robust against considerable imperfections and actually within reach ofcurrent technology.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures; minor revision
