Multi-reservoir enhanced loading of tweezer atom arrays

Abstract

We introduce a species-independent method for improved loading into a single-atom optical tweezer array, utilizing iterative loading with multiple reservoir tweezers. Demonstrated with dual wavelength tweezer arrays of ${}^{88}$Sr atoms, our approach achieves a 96$\%$ loading rate after four reload cycles. This method can significantly enhance existing tweezer rearrangement protocols, potentially reducing iteration time and optical power consumption, thereby enabling a larger number of atoms in a quantum logic device.
