We have realized a method for producing single Cr atoms on demand by suppressing the stochastic nature of the loading and loss processes of a magneto-optic trap. We observe single-atom trap occupation probabilities as high as (98.7±0.1)% and demonstrate ejection with greater than 90% efficiency at rates up to 10 Hz. Monte Carlo simulations agree well with extraction measurements and are used to predict ultimate performance. Such a deterministic atom source has potential applications in nanotechnology, quantum information processing, and fundamental quantum investigations.
