Težnje po vse boljšem nadzoru nad posameznimi atomi v takšnih sistemih so privedle do nove generacije eksperimentov, ki temeljijo na nizih atomov, sestavljenih z uporabo optičnih pincet. Takšne nize se lahko hitro oblikuje v različne geometrije v dveh in treh razsežnostih, atome v njih pa je mogoče preplesti s pomočjo Rydbergovih interakcij dolgega dosega. Na podlagi teh dosežkov so se nizi atomov uveljavili kot ena najobetavnejših platform za gradnjo digitalnih kvantnih računalnikov, saj (1) atomi omogočajo realizacijo kubitov s koherenčnim časom, dolgim več sekund, (2) med posameznimi atomi ni razlik in (3) je nize atomov mogoče enostavno razširiti do velikosti nekaj tisoč kubitov.

The quest for more control over individual atoms in such systems has culminated in a new generation of experiments based on atom arrays assembled using optical tweezers. These atom arrays can be created rapidly in arbitrary two- and three-dimensional geometries, and atoms in these arrays can be entangled using long-range Rydberg interactions. Based on these developments, atom arrays have emerged as one of the most promising platforms for building digital quantum computers because (1) atoms can realize qubits with coherence times of many seconds, (2) they exhibit no manufacturing variations, and (3) it is straightforward to scale up to arrays with thousands of qubits.
