Optical metalenses—two-dimensional arrays of submicrometre scatterers that collectively
focus light—have experienced growing research interest in recent years as they can realize …

Metasurfaces can modulate light with periodically arranged subwavelength scatterers, and
they can generate arbitrary wavefronts. Therefore, they can be used to realize various …

Cold atoms are important for precision atomic applications including timekeeping and
sensing. The 3D magneto-optical trap (3D-MOT), used to produce cold atoms, will benefit …

The commercialization of atomic technologies requires replacing laboratory-scale laser
setups with compact and manufacturable optical platforms. Complex arrangements of free …

We report on the realization of a large-scale quantum-processing architecture surpassing
the tier of 1000 atomic qubits. By tiling multiple microlens-generated tweezer arrays, each …

Laser cooled atoms have proven transformative for precision metrology, playing a pivotal

We propose metasurface holograms as a novel platform to generate optical trap arrays for
cold atoms with high quality, efficiency, and thermal stability. We developed design and …

Micro-robots (MRs) are miniature machines with dimensions smaller than 1 mm and have
semi-or fully-autonomous capabilities, including sensing, decision-making, and performing …

Phase singularities are loci of darkness surrounded by monochromatic light in a scalar field,
with applications in optical trapping, super-resolution imaging, and structured light-matter …

Visible wavelengths of light control the quantum matter of atoms and molecules and are
foundational for quantum technologies, including computers, sensors, and clocks. The …
