Using linear interpolation of the tweezer position and the optical phase between the start and end arrays, we can calculate and display holograms every few ms, limited by technology. To show the versatility of our method, we sort the same atomic sample into multiple geometries with success probabilities of $0.996(2)$ per rearrangement cycle. This makes the method a useful tool for rearranging large atom arrays for quantum computation and quantum simulation. × TY - JOURPB - SciPost FoundationDO - 10.21468/SciPostPhys.19.4.118TI - Parallel assembly of neutral atom arrays with an SLM using linear phase interpolationPY - 2025/10/31UR - https://scipost.org/SciPostPhys.19.4.118JF - SciPost PhysicsJA - SciPost Phys.VL - 19IS - 4SP - 118A1 - Knottnerus, IvoAU - Tseng, Yu ChihAU - Urech, AlexanderAU - Spreeuw, RobertAU - Schreck, FlorianAB - We present fast parallel rearrangement of single atoms in optical tweezers into arbitrary geometries by updating holograms displayed by an ultra fast spatial light modulator.
