We use dynamically varying microscopic light potentials in a quantum-gas microscope to study commensurate and incommensurate 1D systems of interacting bosonic atoms in an optical lattice arXiv:2305.03794.

Congratulations to Dr Jonathan Pritchard on receiving a prestigious RAEng Senior Research Fellowship with M Squared Lasers to develop fault-tolerant neutral atom quantum computers. For more information see the RAEng announcement or checkout the project page QuERy.

Accurate holographic light potentials using pixel crosstalk modelling Scientific Reports 13, 3252 (2023).

We have demonstrated high-fidelity randomised benchmarking of single qubit microwave gates across an array of 225 atoms, and non-destructive readout of up to 49 atoms. We achieved an average gate error of 8×10^-5 which is below the threshold for fault tolerant operations, highlighting the viability of neutral atoms for scalable computing.
