Abstract

Optically trapped mixed-species single atom arrays with arbitrary geometries are an attractive and promising platform for various applications, because tunable quantum systems with multiple components provide extra degrees of freedom for experimental control. Here, we report the first demonstration of two-dimensional 6×46\times4 dual-species atom assembly with a filling fraction of 0.88 (0.89) for 85^{85}Rb (87^{87}Rb) atoms. This mixed-species atomic synthetic is achieved via rearranging initially randomly distributed atoms using a sorting algorithm (heuristic heteronuclear algorithm) which is proposed for bottom-up atom assembly with both user-defined geometries and two-species atom number ratios. Our fully tunable hybrid-atom system of scalable advantages is a good starting point for high-fidelity quantum logic, many-body quantum simulation and forming defect-free single molecule arrays.
