New frontiers in atom arrays using alkaline-earth atoms — •Adam Kaufman — JILA/University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, USA

Quantum science with neutral atoms has seen great advances in the past two decades. Many of these advances follow from the development of new techniques for cooling, trapping, and controlling atomic samples. As one example, the technique of optical tweezer trapping of neutral atom arrays has been a powerful tool for quantum simulation and quantum information, because it enables scalable control and detection of individual atoms with switchable interactions. In this talk, I will describe ongoing work at JILA where we have explored a new type of atom - two-electron atoms - for optical tweezer trapping. While their increased complexity leads to challenges, these atoms also offer new scientific opportunities by virtue of their rich internal degrees of freedom. Accordingly, they have impacted multiple areas in quantum science, ranging from quantum information processing to quantum metrology. I will report on my group's progress in these areas.
