Trapped atoms near nanophotonics form an exciting platform for bottom-up synthesis of strongly interacting quantum matter. The ability to induce tunable long-range atom-atom interactions with photons presents an opportunity to explore many-body physics and quantum optics. Here we implement a configurable optical tweezer array over a planar photonic circuit tailored for cold atom integration and control for trapping and high-fidelity imaging of one or more atoms in an array directly on a photonic structure. Using an optical conveyor belt formed by a moving optical lattice within a tweezer potential, we show that single atoms can be transported from a reservoir into close proximity of a photonic interface, potentially allowing for the synthesis of a defect-free atom-nanophotonic hybrid lattice. Our experimental platform can be integrated with generic planar photonic waveguides and resonators, promising a pathway towards on-chip many-body quantum optics and applications in quantum technology.

使用可配置的镊子晶格在纳米光子电路上捕获单个原子

纳米光子学附近的捕获原子形成了一个令人兴奋的平台,用于自下而上合成强相互作用的量子物质。诱导可调谐的长程原子与光子相互作用的能力为探索多体物理学和量子光学提供了机会。在这里,我们在平面光子电路上实现了一种可配置的光镊阵列,该电路专为冷原子集成和控制而设计,用于直接在光子结构上捕获和高保真阵列中一个或多个原子的成像。使用由镊子势内的移动光学晶格形成的光学传送带,我们证明单个原子可以从储存库传输到光子界面附近,从而有可能合成无缺陷的原子-纳米光子混合晶格。我们的实验平台可以与通用平面光子波导和谐振器集成,为片上多体量子光学和量子技术应用提供了一条途径。
