Experiments on a Quantum Matter Synthesizer

POSTER

Abstract

The ``Quantum Matter Synthesizer" integrates single-site imaging with moving optical tweezer arrays for dynamical re-arrangement of atoms in an optical lattice. We first load pre-cooled Cs atoms in a 2D triangular lattice stochastically. After initial imaging of site occupancies, an array of moving tweezers will re-arrange atoms into a desired configuration. In this poster we report progress towards the completion of this apparatus, including the trapping and cooling of atoms at microscope focus, as well as technique to improve the streaming rate of a digital micromirror device to kHz scale for fast implementation of a moving tweezer array.
