“…Currently, arrays of several hundred atoms have been implemented with opticallyaddressable spacings of a few µm [7,8], and this number is expected to increase to a few thousand as laser power permits. These atoms are confined by an array of optical-dipole traps made through various methods including holographic devices [9], diffractive optical elements [10,11], micro-lens arrays [12], and optical lattices [13]. Ultimately, neutral-atom platforms for QIP may require (i) a significant number of atoms, (ii) a highdimensional architecture, preferably with an arbitrary lattice geometry, (iii) single-atom loading per site, and (iv) the ability to be individually addressable.…”
