• Title: A scaled local gate controller for optically addressed qubits
• Abstract summary: In this work, we demonstrate an optical modulator system based on off-the-shelf components. The modulator achieves an extinction ratio of 46 dB, and nearest-neighbor crosstalk of $-44$ dB with a beam spacing of 4.6 waists. This approach is suitable for local addressing of gates with low cross-talk error rates in any optically addressed qubit platform.

• Abstract: Scalable classical controllers are a key component of future fault-tolerant quantum computers. Neutral atom quantum computers leverage commercially available optoelectronic devices for generating large-scale tweezer arrays and performing parallel readout, but implementing massively parallel, locally-addressed gate operations is an open challenge. In this work, we demonstrate an optical modulator system based on off-the-shelf components, which can generate a two-dimensional array of over 10,000 focused spots with uniform frequency and amplitude, and switching them on and off individually in arbitrary configurations at rates of up to 43 kHz. Through careful control of aberrations, the modulator achieves an extinction ratio of 46 dB, and nearest-neighbor crosstalk of $-44$ dB with a beam spacing of 4.6 waists. The underlying components can operate at wavelengths from the UV to the NIR, and sustain high laser intensities. This approach is suitable for local addressing of gates with low cross-talk error rates in any optically addressed qubit platform, including neutral atoms, trapped ions, or solid-state atomic defects.
