   Seminar Abstract 

Neutral atom arrays are a promising platform for the bottom-up control of individual qubits in
a scalable and programmable way. These atom arrays host tunable interactions and can be
arranged to form arbitrary geometries, making them attractive candidates for quantum
computation and simulation. Scaling up atom arrays while maintaining high fidelity control
would allow one to simulate larger and more complex quantum many-body systems. In this
talk, I will discuss the limits of scaling up atom arrays and present two solutions to overcome
these limits: the first involving a new class of “magic” wavelengths for optically trapping
atoms, and the second involving a novel parallel rearrangement algorithm to rapidly
assemble defect-free arrays of hundreds of singly-trapped atoms in real time. I will also
discuss different routes for inducing programmable interactions between the singly-trapped
particles, with an eye towards future quantum simulation studies.

This seminar will be conducted both in person, at MAS EC ROOM 1 (SPMS-MAS-03-06), NTU, and online,
 Thursday, January 12, 2023, 4:30 PM Singapore time / 09:30 AM French time.
