Stabilized Laser System For 171 Yb Atomic Qubit Array

POSTER

Abstract

171-Yb, with its ground nuclear spin-1/2 states, metastable clock states, and Rydberg states, provides a versatile platform for quantum computation and metrology. We have developed a 171-Yb single-atom array using magic wavelength optical tweezers. In our experimental setup, atoms are transported via a 2D MOT and pushing beam, cooled in a 3D MOT, and trapped in 759 nm tweezers shaped by a spatial light modulator. We could achieve imaging survival probabilities exceeding 99.5% by leveraging magic-angle magnetic fields and dual-tone addressing of mF=±1/2 transitions. Our progress of quantum control using clock and Rydberg transitions highlights the system's potential for both analog-digital quantum computation and entanglement-enhanced metrology. Achieving high-fidelity qubit control is essential for quantum computation, with laser noise and stability playing critical roles in this process. In this work, we present methods for stabilizing diode lasers, enhancing their coherence and spectral stability. These advancements are critical for improving atom trapping, cooling, and quantum state manipulation, marking significant steps toward scalable, high-fidelity quantum platforms.
