Check out our new work on combining atom arrays with photonic chips on arXiv. We show atom array technology such as loading large tweezer arrays, single-shot fluorescence images, and rearrangement works in combination with photonic chips.
For this we introduce a new background-free imaging technique completely eliminates any background from laser light that scatters on the chip. We show that we can move atoms onto nanophotonic cavities with only a few hundred nanometer distance. Congratulations to Shankar and Noah, who led this work!
