Quantum simulation with ultracold fermions in optical lattices provides unique insights into the microscopic details of strongly interacting quantum many-body systems. For non-equilibrium experiments, the choice of the initial atomic configuration is usually limited to a small set of accessible states such as Mott-insulators or charge density waves. Arrays of optical tweezers offer a capable extension to this toolbox by using their dynamic reconfigurability to assemble quantum systems in an optical lattice atom-by-atom.
We demonstrate the preparation of arbitrary spin- and density-resolved product states of single atoms within an 8x8 optical tweezer array. Specifically, we showcase preparation of anti-ferromagnets with engineered defects like domain-walls in the tweezer array and report on recent progress on the state assembly in the lattice. Combined with fast single-exposure spin- and site-resolved imaging, these advancements enable new directions in out-of-equilibrium physics within the Fermi-Hubbard model as well as fermionic quantum information processing.
