One Hologram System Assembles a 2,078-Site Atom Lattice
A kilohertz spatial light modulator moved atoms in parallel before its liquid crystal fully settled.
Summary
A kilohertz spatial light modulator moved atoms in parallel before its liquid crystal fully settled.
Optical-tweezer arrays normally trade flexible holograms against update speed. The reported system characterizes survival and heating closely enough to command successive dynamic holograms before the modulator settles. A warm-start weighted Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm generates patterns in real time without training. The team assembled ytterbium atoms into a 2,078-site kagome lattice with 99.0 percent mean filling and demonstrated transport between layers. The result is an experimental platform demonstration, not a general-purpose quantum computer.
