In this review article, the progress and recent developments in the measuring and controlling of single atom trajectories are reviewed. With the development of laser cooling and trapping technology, it is possible to achieve the measurement and control of single atom trajectory experimentally. The experiment of tracking a single atom trajectory with high resolution and the endeavor of eliminating the degeneracy of the trajectories are then introduced.

The basic principle,experimental scheme and results of laser cooling,trapping manipulation and control of a single atom in a micro-cavity and their recent progress are reviewed in some detail,and the recent experimental progress of laser manipulation and control for a single atom and their applications in the studies of cavity quantum electrodynamics(QED),sub-Poissonian photon statistics,one-atom laser,quantum-state preparation,single photon source,and quantum information processing and so on are introduced.
