State Dependent Collisions and Quantum Simulation with Tweezer Arrays of Ultracold Laser-cooled Molecules

POSTER

Abstract

Utilizing our recent optical array of single ultracold calcium mono-fluoride (CaF) molecules, we present ongoing work towards implementing internal state control of the molecules and tweezer merging to build a clean platform for collisional studies. We also present work towards dynamical tweezer rearrangement to deterministically create defect free arrays, which would be an ideal starting point for molecular qubits and quantum simulation of spin lattice Hamiltonians.
