Toward quantum control and metrology with an ultracold cesium atom array

Ultra-cold neutral atoms, with their long coherence times and weak coupling to laboratory noise, constitute an excellent platform for experiments in quantum state control and metrology. We are developing a new experiment to generate and control large, entangled spin states for this purpose using ultracold neutral cesium atoms held in optical tweezers. Such a platform can be used for investigating quantum logic gate protocols and the boundaries of experimental robustness and computational complexity. We will present our recent experimental progress.
