Sorting atoms stochastically loaded in optical tweezer arrays via an auxiliary mobile tweezer is an efficient approach to preparing intermediate-scale defect-free atom arrays in arbitrary geometries. However, high filling fraction of atom-by-atom assemblers is impeded by redundant sorting moves with imperfect atom transport, especially for scaling the system size to larger atom numbers. Here, we propose a new sorting algorithm (heuristic cluster algorithm, HCA) which provides near-fewest moves in our tailored atom assembler scheme and experimentally demonstrate a $5times6$ defect-free atom array with 98.4(7)$%$ filling fraction for one rearrangement cycle. The feature of HCA that the number of moves $N_{m}approx N$ ($N$ is the number of defect sites to be filled) makes the filling fraction uniform as the size of atom assembler enlarged. Our method is essential to scale hundreds of assembled atoms for bottom-up quantum computation, quantum simulation and precision measurement.

Optically trapped mixed-species single atom arrays with arbitrary geometries are an attractive and promising platform for various applications, because tunable quantum systems with multiple components provide extra degrees of freedom for experimental control. Here, we report the first demonstration of two-dimensional $6times4$ dual-species atom assembly with a filling fraction of 0.88 (0.89) for $^{85}$Rb ($^{87}$Rb) atoms. This mixed-species atomic synthetic is achieved via rearranging initially randomly distributed atoms using a sorting algorithm (heuristic heteronuclear algorithm) which is proposed for bottom-up atom assembly with both user-defined geometries and two-species atom number ratios. Our fully tunable hybrid-atom system of scalable advantages is a good starting point for high-fidelity quantum logic, many-body quantum simulation and forming defect-free single molecule arrays.
We prepare number stabilized ultracold clouds through the real-time analysis of non-destructive images and the application of feedback. In our experiments, the atom number ${Nsim10^6}$ is determined by high precision Faraday imaging with uncertainty $Delta_N$ below the shot noise level, i.e., $Delta_N <sqrt{N}$. Based on this measurement, feedback is applied to reduce the atom number to a user-defined target, whereupon a second imaging series probes the number stabilized cloud. By this method, we show that the atom number in ultracold clouds can be prepared below the shot noise level.
The realization of a quantum network node of matter-based qubits compatible with telecom-band operation and large-scale quantum information processing is an outstanding challenge that has limited the potential of elementary quantum networks. We propose a platform for interfacing quantum processors comprising neutral atom arrays with telecom-band photons in a multiplexed network architecture. The use of a large atom array instead of a single atom mitigates the deleterious effects of two-way communication and improves the entanglement rate between two nodes by nearly two orders of magnitude. Further, this system simultaneously provides the ability to perform high-fidelity deterministic gates and readout within each node, opening the door to quantum repeater and purification protocols to enhance the length and fidelity of the network, respectively. Using intermediate nodes as quantum repeaters, we demonstrate the feasibility of entanglement distribution over approximately 1500 km based on realistic assumptions, providing a blueprint for a transcontinental network. Finally, we demonstrate that our platform can distribute approximately 25 Bell pairs over metropolitan distances, which could serve as the backbone of a distributed fault-tolerant quantum computer.
The realization of an efficient quantum optical interface for multi-qubit systems is an outstanding challenge in science and engineering. We demonstrate a method for interfacing neutral atom arrays with optical photons. In our approach, atomic qubits trapped in individually controlled optical tweezers are moved in and out of the near-field of a nanofabricated photonic crystal cavity. With this platform, we demonstrate full quantum control, efficient quantum non-destructive readout, and entanglement of atom pairs strongly coupled to the cavity. By encoding the qubits into long-lived states and employing dynamical decoupling, the entangled state is verified in free space after being transported away from the cavity. The combination of a compact, integrated optical link and entanglement transport paves the way for quantum networking with neutral atom quantum processors.
Results from higher order mean field calculations of light interacting with atom arrays are presented for calculations of one- and two-time expectation values. The atoms are approximated as two-levels and are fixed in space. Calculations were performed for mean field approximations that include the expectation value of one operator (mean field), two operators (mean field-2), and three operators (mean field-3). For the one-time expectation values, we examined three different situations to understand the convergence with increasing order of mean field and some limitations of higher order mean field approximations. As a representation of a two-time expectation value, we calculated the $g^{(2)}(tau )$ for a line of atoms illuminated by a perpendicular plane wave at several emission angles and two different intensities. For many cases, the mean field-2 will be sufficiently accurate to quantitatively predict the response of the atoms as measured by one-time expectation values. However, the mean field-3 approximation will often be needed for two-time expectation values.
