Deterministic Loading of Arbitrary Potentials — •Romain Müller, Robert Heck, Otto Eliasson, Jens Laustsen, Aske Thorsen, Jan Arlt, and Jacob Sherson — Aarhus Universitet, Denmark

The ability to detect and manipulate single atoms in optical lattices [1,2,3] and the deterministic loading of atoms into tweezers [4,5,6] has opened the doors for novel types of experiments.

In this poster we present our route to combine single atom control in optical lattices and deterministic loading into smooth or periodic arbitrary potentials using multiple digital micromirror devices (DMD) in combination with a quantum gas microscope. This should allow to simulate various quantum phenomena and to study the dynamics in different systems, like in ring lattices. Due to the high speed of the DMDs (10kHz frame rate), they will also allow incorporating the players' results of our game 'Quantum moves' to test the quantum speed limit [7].
