- Abstract: Arrays of individual atoms trapped in optical microtraps with
micrometer-scale sizes have emerged as a fundamental, versatile, and powerful
platform for quantum sciences and technologies. This platform enables the
bottom-up engineering of quantum systems, offering the capability of
low-entropy preparation of quantum states with flexible geometry, as well as
manipulation and detection at the single-site level. The utilization of
ultracold itinerant atoms with tunnel coupling in optical microtraps provides
new opportunities for quantum simulation, enabling the exploration of exotic
quantum states, phases, and dynamics, which would otherwise be challenging to
achieve in conventional optical lattices due to high entropy and limited
geometric flexibility. Here the development of tunnel-coupled optical
microtraps for the manipulation of ultracold atomic quantum systems and its
recent advances are briefly reviewed.
