A tweezer array with 6100 extremely coherent atomic qubits

Optical tweezer arrays ^1,2 have reworked atomic and molecular physics, now forming the spine for a spread of main experiments in quantum computing ^3–8, simulation ^1,9–12, and metrology ^13–15. Typical experiments entice tens to a whole bunch of atomic qubits, and lately methods with round one thousand atoms had been realized with out defining qubits or demonstrating coherent management ^16–18. However, scaling to 1000’s of atomic qubits with lengthy coherence instances, low-loss, and high-fidelity imaging is an excellent problem and demanding for progress in quantum science, significantly in the direction of quantum error correction ^19,20. Here, we experimentally understand an array of optical tweezers trapping over 6,100 impartial atoms in round 12,000 websites, concurrently surpassing state-of-the-art efficiency for a number of metrics that underpin the success of the platform. Specifically, whereas scaling to such a lot of atoms, we reveal a coherence time of 12.6(1) seconds, a document for hyperfine qubits in an optical tweezer array. We present room-temperature trapping lifetimes of  ~ 23 minutes, enabling record-high imaging survival of 99.98952(1)% with an imaging constancy of over 99.99%. We current a plan for zone-based quantum computing ^5,21 and reveal essential coherence-preserving qubit transport and pick-up/drop-off operations on giant spatial scales, characterised by way of interleaved randomized benchmarking. Our outcomes, together with latest developments ^8,22–24, point out that common quantum computing and quantum error correction with 1000’s to tens of 1000’s of bodily qubits could possibly be a near-term prospect.
