KPS Focus Session for Tweezer trap systems

Session Name: Neutral Atoms Trapped with Optical Tweezers

In recent years, neutral atoms trapped in optical tweezer arrays are actively used for various research including quantum computing, quantum simulation, and probably for quantum sensing as well. In this focus session, we gather experts in this field to discuss the latest activities and future trends.
