A tweezer array with 6,100 highly coherent atomic qubits.

ABSTRACT: Optical tweezer arrays^1,2 have transformed atomic and molecular physics, now forming the backbone for a range of leading experiments in quantum computing^3-8, simulation^1,9-12 and metrology^13-15. Typical experiments trap tens to hundreds of atomic qubits and, recently, systems with around 1,000 atoms were realized without defining qubits or demonstrating coherent control^16-18. However, scaling to thousands of atomic qubits with long coherence times and low-loss and high-fidelity imaging is an outstanding challenge and critical for progress in quantum science, particularly towards quantum error correction (QEC)^19,20. Here we experimentally realize an array of optical tweezers trapping more than 6,100 neutral atoms in around 12
