Abstract
In various embodiments, a system comprising an atomic object confinement apparatus and one or more signal manipulation elements is provided. Each signal manipulation element (a) is associated with a respective atomic object position of the atomic object confinement apparatus and (b) is one of a collection array or an action array. A collection array is configured to, responsive to an emitted signal emitted by an atomic object at the respective atomic object position being incident on the collection array, provide an induced collection signal to a respective collection position. An action array is configured to, responsive to an incoming signal being incident on the action array, provide an induced action signal to the respective atomic object position. The one or more signal manipulation elements comprise metamaterial arrays and/or diffractive optical elements.
