Abstract
Atomic object confinement apparatuses comprising periodic or quasi-periodic arrays of legs, including curved legs, and systems comprising such atomic object confinement apparatuses are provided. The atomic object confinement apparatus comprises a plurality of legs with each leg of the plurality of legs defining a one-dimensional trap segment; and a plurality of junctions with each junction of the plurality of junctions connecting at least two legs of the plurality of legs. The plurality of legs and the plurality of junctions are arranged into a periodic or quasi-periodic array of connected one-dimensional trap segments. The periodic array or quasi-periodic array comprises one or more smallest array elements. Each smallest array element of the one or more smallest array elements comprises at least one curved leg.
