Abstract

Neutral atoms trapped in tweezer arrays are promising candidates for quantum computing. The KAT-1 collaboration is constructing a versatile apparatus for loading strontium atoms in tweezer arrays. The atoms are cooled in a multi-stage cooling sequence using the blue and red atomic transitions to ~3 µK and are overlapped with a 2D array of optical tweezers. A set of 20 parameters of the experiment are adjusted using a differential evolution algorithm to optimize the number of atoms that are loaded into the array. After the atoms are loaded into the tweezers, they are cooled further using an attractive Sisyphus cooling process. On the poster, we present the design of the apparatus and show recent experimental results of Strontium atoms loaded into optical tweezer arrays.
