Publication number: 20240395436Abstract: A system for generating a multi-element atom array includes a first spatial light modulator that transforms a first input laser beam into a first modulated laser beam and a second spatial light modulator that transforms a second input laser beam into a second modulated laser beam. The first input laser beam has a first wavelength while the second input laser beam has a second wavelength different from the first wavelength. The system includes a beam combiner that combines the first and second modulated laser beams into a combined laser beam. The system includes a lens that focuses the combined laser beam. The first spatial-light modulator is controlled to generate a first array of optical tweezers at the first wavelength for trapping a first atomic element. The second spatial-light modulator is controlled to generate a second array of optical tweezers at the second wavelength for trapping a second atomic element.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2023Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventors: Hannes BERNIEN, Kevin SINGH, Shraddha ANAND

Patent number: 11985451Abstract: A method of generating uniform large-scale optical focus arrays (LOT As) with a phase spatial light modulator (SLM) includes identifying and removing undesired phase rotation in the iterative Fourier transform algorithm (IFTA), thereby producing computer-generated holograms of highly uniform LOT As using a reduced number of iterations as compared to a weighted Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm. The method also enables a faster compensation of optical system-induced LOT A intensity inhomogeneity than the conventional IFTA.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignees: President and Fellows of Harvard College, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Donggyu Kim, Alexander Keesling Contreras, Ahmed Omran, Harry Jay Levine, Hannes Bernien, Mikhail D.

Patent number: 9335606Abstract: A device for achieving multi-photon interference is provided based on nitrogen-vacancy defects in diamond material. Nitrogen-vacancy defects having a narrow band width and a similar emission frequency are identified within a high quality diamond material. The device has an excitation arrangement configured to individually address nitrogen-vacancy defects and optical outcoupling structures for increasing outcoupling of photons from each nitrogen-vacancy defect. A tuning arrangement is configured to tune the emission from each nitrogen-vacancy defect to reduce differences in frequency and the photons are overlapped. A detector is provided to detect the photon emissions. The detector is configured to resolve sufficiently small differences in photon detection times such that tuned photon emissions from the nitrogen-vacancy defects are quantum mechanically indistinguishable resulting in quantum interference between indistinguishable photon emissions from different nitrogen-vacancy defects.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Element Six Technologies LimitedInventors: Ronald Hanson, Hannes Bernien, Matthew Lee Markham, Daniel James Twitchen
