Trapping of single atoms in metasurface tweezer arrays

Nov 11, 2024

Check out our latest work on the trapping of strontium atoms in optical tweezer arrays generated via holographic metasurfaces. We demonstrate a high degree of array uniformity in terms of trap depth, trap frequency, and positional accuracy. Furthermore, we show that - due to sub-micrometer pixel sizes and high pixel densities - holographic metasurfaces open a path towards optical tweezer arrays with more than 100,000 traps. A big thank you to the TweeSr team and our collaborators at the Nanfang Yu lab for the amazing work!
