    "abstract": "We describe the fabrication of an atom mirror by etching of a common hard\ndrive, and we report the observation of specular retroreflection of 11 uk\ncesium atoms using this mirror. The atoms were trapped and cooled above the\nhard drive using the mirror magneto-optical trap technique, and upon release,\ntwo full bounces were detected. The hard drive atom mirror will be a useful\ntool for both atom optics and quantum computation.",
