As a matter of fact, the laser cooling and trapping has already been widely used in various fields in advanced atoms controlling. With this in mind, this study gives a systematical analysis of the principle of laser cooling and trapping, and the development of them in the recent years. To be specific, this study will discuss the applications that has invented in the recent year based on the laser colling and trapping (especially for the state-of-art facilities), and makes a comparison between the concepts of laser cooling and laser trapping accordingly. Then, based on the analysis and evaluations, the limitations of laser cooling and laser trapping have been shown, and the future outlooks are also claimed and demonstrated as well. To sum up, the study concludes by discussing the limitations of these techniques, and gives some methods to solve these issues. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of laser cooling and trapping.
