Abstract: A beam delivery system is provided that includes a beam delivery photonic integrated circuit. The beam delivery photonic integrated circuit includes one or more optical inputs; a plurality of waveguide outputs; and a plurality of beam paths. Each beam path connects one of the plurality of waveguide outputs to at least one of the optical inputs. The plurality of waveguide outputs are configured to emit a plurality of parallel beams. The beam delivery photonic integrated circuit is on a chip. The beam delivery system further includes a telecentric optical relay assembly. The telecentric optical relay assembly is configured to receive the plurality of parallel beams provided by the waveguide outputs and focus each received beam on a corresponding one of a plurality of positions of an atomic object confinement apparatus in a telecentric manner.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for delivering power from a first energy source to a second energy source. An electrical system for delivering power from a first energy source to a second energy source comprises an interface configured to be coupled to the second energy source, a switching element coupled between the first energy source and the interface, and a processing system coupled to the switching element and the interface. The processing system is configured to identify a connection event based on an electrical characteristic of the interface that is indicative of the interface being coupled to the second energy source and operate the switching element to provide a path for current from the first energy source in response to identifying the connection event.
