The practical implementation of a quantum network remains an outstanding challenge pursued across various hardware platforms. Cold neutral atoms trapped in a high-finesse optical cavity have proven to be a promising platform due to the strong atom-light interaction and the controllability of the system. However, current implementations are limited to a few atoms in the cavity. The ability to position and individually control an array of atoms using optical tweezers opens the possibility of extending this platform to multi-qubit quantum network nodes. We present the plans of our group in Stuttgart to realize such a multi-qubit quantum network node. Several experiments are envisioned with this system, including photon-mediated quantum information processing between intra-cavity atoms, the generation of highly entangled photonic cluster states, and the creation of optical Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states.
