Construction of a versatile platform for Rydberg atom experiments — •Aaron Thielmann, Mirza Akbar Ali, Sven Schmidt, Suthep Pomjaksilp, Thomas Niederprüm, and Herwig Ott — Department of Physics and research center OPTIMAS, RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau

In recent years, atomic arrays emerged as a ground-breaking platform in quantum physics. These setups do not only feature single-atom control, additionally exciting addressable atoms to Rydberg states introduces further possibilities to study physical problems in different geometric configurations.

Using a metallic vacuum-chamber, our aim is to get a versatile platform for research on arrays of single atoms or small samples while having as much control over sorrounding parameters as possible. Through a high resolution objective not only tweezer trap generation and observation but also site-selective (de-)excitation will be possible. This will enable us to investigate different phenomena like transport with dissipation in arbitrarily arranged arrays of Rubidium atoms. Additional features include electric and magnetic field control as well as the ability for global application of microwave and optical fields. Furthermore a second species of Rubidium could enable even more possibilities.
