Abstract
Various embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, systems, or computer program products for deterministically reordering a group of atomic objects within an atomic object confinement apparatus. The group of atomic objects comprises Object A, Object B, Object C, and Object D, where Object B and Object C are of a first atomic type, and Object A and Object D are not of the first atomic type. The atomic object confinement apparatus comprises a plurality of potential generating elements which are controlled to create a time-dependent potential field within the atomic object confinement apparatus. The time-dependent potential field experienced by the group of atomic objects causes Object A, Object B, Object C, and Object D to move along corresponding reordering trajectories such that the group of atomic objects is deterministically reshaped and/or reordered.
