Abstract

Neutral atoms trapped in arrays of optical tweezers are a versatile platform for multiple research efforts in quantum information science. In particular, alkaline-earth atoms like Yb offer many advantages including ultralong coherence nuclear spin states for quantum information storage and high-fidelity qubit operations, optical transitions to Rydberg states for generating strong, long-range interactions between atoms, and narrow optical transitions for efficient cooling and metrology. Additionally, optical transitions from the long-lived ³P₀ nuclear spin state have frequencies in the telecommunications band making integration with fiber networks and silicon nanophotonics an attractive avenue of exploration for hybrid quantum systems and quantum communication. Finally, these optical tweezer platforms are well suited for investigating the cooperative response of an array of atoms, where the proximity of neighboring atoms fundamentally alters the systems optical response which has implications for quantum information storage. Here I will present efforts to investigate these research avenues using alkaline-earth atoms in optical tweezers.
