• Title: On-the-Spot Loading of Single-Atom Traps
• Authors: Mark IJspeert, Naomi Holland, Benjamin Yuen, Axel Kuhn,
• Abstract summary: We show that increasing the depth of a static, optical dipole trap enables the transition from fast loading on a timescale of $2.1,$s to an extended trap lifetime of $7.9,$s. This method demonstrates an achievable filling ratio of $(79pm2),%$ without the need of rearranging atoms to fill vacant traps.

• Abstract: Reconfigurable arrays of trapped single atoms are an excellent platform for the simulation of many-body physics and the realisation of high-fidelity quantum gates. The confinement of atoms is often achieved with focussed laser beams acting as optical dipole-force traps that allow for both static and dynamic positioning of atoms. In these traps, light-assisted collisions -- enhancing the two-atom loss rate -- ensure that single atom occupation of traps can be realised. However, the time-averaged probability of trapping a single atom is limited to $0.5$ when loading directly from a surrounding cloud of laser-cooled atoms, preventing deterministic filling of large arrays. In this work, we demonstrate that increasing the depth of a static, optical dipole trap enables the transition from fast loading on a timescale of $2.1\,$s to an extended trap lifetime of $7.9\,$s. This method demonstrates an achievable filling ratio of $(79\pm2)\,\%$ without the need of rearranging atoms to fill vacant traps.

  Single atoms trapped in tightly focused optical dipole traps provide an excellent experimental platform for quantum computing. We propose and demonstrate a novel approach to enhancing the loading of single atoms by introducing a weak ancillary dipole beam. It was also demonstrated that multiple atoms could be loaded with the assistance of a counter-propagating beam.

• Recapture Probability for anti-trapped Rydberg states in optical tweezers [0.0]
  In a neutral atom quantum computer, qubits are individual neutral atoms trapped in optical tweezers. We give a quantum mechanical description of the anti-trapping loss rates and determine the recapture probability after Rydberg excitation. We find that for 2D radial traps with bosonic Strontium-88 atoms, the time in which perfect recapture can be achieved, is of the same order of magnitude for traps on, and off.

  No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

• Machine learner optimization of optical nanofiber-based dipole traps for cold $^{87}$Rb atoms [0.4221619479687067]
  In two-color optical nanofiber-based dipole traps for cold alkali atoms, the trap efficiency depends on the wavelength and intensity of light in the evanescent field. We implement an in-loop artificial neural network machine learner to trap $87$Rb atoms in an uncompensated two-color evanescent field dipole trap. We observe an increase in the number of dipole-trapped atoms by $sim$ 50%, a small decrease in their average temperature from 150 $mu$K to 140 $mu$K, and an increase in peak optical depth by 70%.

  We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes.

We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.
