Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Two-dimensional arrays of optical microtraps created by micro-optical elements present a versatile and scalable architecture for neutral atom quantum information processing, quantum simulation and the manipulation of ultra-cold quantum gases. In this paper, we demonstrate the advanced capabilities of this approach by introducing novel techniques and functionalities as well as the combined operation of previous separately implemented functions. We introduce piezo-actuator-based transport of atom ensembles over distances of more than one trap separation, examine the capabilities of rapid atom transport provided by acousto-optical beam steering and analyse the adiabaticity limit for atom transport in these configurations. We implement a spatial light modulator with 8 bit transmission control for the per-site adjustment of the trap depth and the number of atoms loaded. We combine single-site addressing, trap depth control and atom transport in one configuration for demonstrating the splitting of atom ensembles with variable ratio at predefined register sites. Finally, we use controlled sub-poissonian preparation of single trapped atoms from such an ensemble to show that our approach allows for the implementation of a continuous supply of single-atom qubits with high fidelity. These novel implementations and their combined operation significantly extend available techniques for the dynamical and reconfigurable manipulation of ultra-cold atoms in dipole traps.
