Progress toward a Lithium-based quantum gas microscope — Ruijia Li and •Timon Hilker — University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK

We will present our plans and progress towards a new quantum gas microscope with lithium atoms. Our goal is to gain full control over the motion of the atoms in an optical lattice using local digital gates by employing an optical superlattice and local addressing. This bottom-up approach to quantum simulations has the potential to upgrade an optical lattice to a flexible programmable quantum hardware with fermionic exchange statistics.

We aim to achieve fast cycle times and robust preparation of deeply degenerate gases using a single-chamber design with a high-power optical lattice which can be directly loaded from the MOT.
