• Title: Blinking optical tweezers for atom rearrangements
• Authors: Kangjin Kim, Kangheun Kim, Jaewook Ahn,
• Abstract summary: We propose and experimentally demonstrate an energy-efficient approach for holding and rearranging an N x M atom array. This is achieved through the sequential release and recapture of M single atoms by a single optical tweezer. We show that a blinking tweezer can trap M atoms while requiring only 1 / M of the power per atom, and it can even facilitate rearrangement.

• Abstract: We propose and experimentally demonstrate an energy-efficient approach for holding and rearranging an N x M atom array using only N optical tweezers. This is achieved through the sequential release and recapture of M single atoms by a single optical tweezer. By employing a stroboscopic harmonic potential, the phase-space quadrature of the atom's probability distribution can be maintained under this "blinking" potential, provided the trap frequency meets the appropriate conditions. Proof-of-principle experiments confirm that a blinking tweezer can trap M atoms while requiring only 1 / M of the power per atom, and it can even facilitate rearrangement, demonstrated with arrays of up to M = 9 atoms. This method offers a scalable and reconfigurable platform for optical tweezer arrays, crucial for the preparation and manipulation of large-scale qubit systems.

  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.

• Excitation spectrum of a multilevel atom coupled with a dielectric nanostructure [0.0]
  We calculate the excitation spectrum of a single-electron atom localized near a dielectric nanostructure. In particular, the strong resonance interaction between atom(s) and light, propagating through a photonic crystal waveguide, justifies as realistic the scenario of a signal light coupling with a small atomic array consisting of a few atoms. As a potential implication, the directional one-dimensional resonance scattering, expected in such systems, could provide a quantum bus by entangling distant atoms integrated into a quantum register.

• An accordion superlattice for controlling atom separation in optical potentials [0.0]
  We propose a method for separating trapped atoms in optical lattices by large distances. By coherently loading atoms between the two superimposed potentials, we can reach, in principle, arbitrarily large atom separations. The method can be applied to neutral-atom quantum computing with optical tweezers, as well as quantum simulation of low-entropy many-body states.

The first scheme implements state-selective projective measurement by scattering photons from a specific qubit. The second scheme performs a single-qubit phase gate on the target atom with an incoherent spontaneous emission probability as low as 0.01.
