Title: Programmable arrays of ultracold Potassium atoms for quantum simulation

Abstract:

Ultracold Rydberg atoms in optical traps currently constitute one of the best platforms for quantum simulation and quantum information processing in terms of detection, interaction, control and scalability [1].

By creating single Rydberg excitations in optical micro traps using a Digital Micromirror Device, we hope to get step closer to the next generation of quantum simulators and atomic-ensemble quantum registers operating in the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era [2].
