Exploring Single-and Many-Particle Clock Physics with Tweezer Arrays and Rydberg Interactions

Abstract

We propose a new platform for quantum-enhanced metrology based in the use of optical tweezer arrays of strontium. We aim to employ the unique combination of features associated with tweezer arrays Ñ scalability, fast cycle time, microscopic tunability, three-dimensional confinement, and single-atom isolation Ñ to explore a new atomic clock architecture. After characterizing the performance of this tweezer-based clock, we will employ Rydberg-dressing to controllably introduce long-range interactions. These interactions will be used to generate entanglement for squeezing enhanced sensitivity of the atomic reference.
