Quantum Matter Synthesizer

The Quantum Matter Synthesizer (QMS) is a new experimental platform for quantum simulations and engineering new quantum phases. Once completed, the QMS will be able to load atoms into a far-detuned lattice projected through a high numerical aperture objective lens, image the atomic distribution and cool the atoms to the vibrational ground state, and then dynamically turn off and rearrange lattice sites to achieve the desired filling fraction and spin order. We will achieve this dynamically re-arrangeable lattice by forming our 2D optical potential with Digital Micromirror Devices (DMD).
