Experiments involving ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices provide powerful ways for engineering and probing strongly correlated quantum matter. The field has advanced significantly in the past few decades, offering exceptional single-site resolution and single-atom addressing. However, current setups are often restricted by rigid lattice configurations and slow cycle times. In this poster, we showcase our endeavors in building a next-generation quantum gas microscope for fermionic and bosonic lithium atoms. Utilizing auxiliary optical tweezers and direct optical cooling techniques, we aim to assemble small lattice systems with sub-second experimental cycles. We build tailored optical lattices with dynamically reconfigurable geometries by leveraging holographic projection techniques. Our approach paves the way for multiple research areas, which range from quantum simulations of fractional quantum Hall states to frustrated phases with unconventional geometries.
