Conceptual loop diagram of filling a neutral-atom array with ytterbium-171 atoms: atoms from a magneto-optical trap (green disc) are transported into a reservoir tweezer array, handed off to an optical lattice, imaged, handed back and rearranged (orange paths) into the larger target grid; two small real fluorescence images show a partly filled and a nearly full array. It is Figure 1 of 'Iterative assembly of 171Yb atom arrays in cavity-enhanced optical lattices' by M.A. Norcia, H. Kim and co-authors (arXiv 2401.16177); the register associates it with Atom Computing. Each turn of the loop refills the reservoir while the target grid keeps its atoms, so repeated loading builds large arrays.“Fig. 1 — Figure 1: Conceptual diagram of repeated loading sequence.
