We demonstrate a robust scheme for selective spin flips within a string of optically trapped individual neutral Cs atoms using microwave induced adiabatic passages. The atoms are imaged with a CCD camera and their transition frequency is position dependently shifted with a magnetic field gradient. A spin flip on a selected atom is accomplished by sweeping the microwave frequency across the respective resonance frequency. We analyze the addressing resolution of this scheme. In a second experiment we induce a spin flip with a fixed microwave frequency by deterministically transporting the atoms across the position of resonance. Our experiments are an important step towards quantum logic operations with atoms.
