Large, defect-free atom arrays are a promising platform for quantum computing and quantum simulation. But their production is often hindered by atom losses that occur during assembly. Now Huanqian Loh and her colleagues at the National University of Singapore have developed an algorithm that limits these losses by speeding up the manufacturing process [1]. They show that their algorithm can be used to make a wide range of pristine arrays containing hundreds of atoms.
