      "summary_nl": "Atomen in optische pincet roosters\n\nEen laserbundel kan een atoom vastgrijpen zoals een pincet een klein object oppakt. Zulke ”optische pincetten” zijn een essentieel onderdeel van een nieuw type computer dat kwantummechanica gebruikt om rekenkracht te vergroten.\n\nKwantumcomputers die atomen gebruiken voor informatieverwerking staan nog in de kinderschoenen en hebben grotere atomaire registers nodig om volwassen te worden. In dit werk wordt fotonica gecombineerd met atoomfysica om dit probleem op te lossen door de mogelijkheden van optische pincetten sterk te vergroten.",
      "summary_en": "Atoms in optical tweezer arrays\n\nA laser beam can hold on to an atom much like a tweezer can grab a small object. Such “optical tweezers” are an essential part of a new type of computer that uses quantum mechanics to speed up calculations. Quantum computers that use atoms to process information are still in their infancy and to reach maturity will need a larger atomic register.\n\nIn this work, techniques from photonics are combined with atomic physics to solve this problem by greatly expanding the capabilities of optical tweezers.",

          "update_en": "The use of compact lasers for trapping of cold atoms has been tested for the first time in our lab with initial evidence of trapping. Power and wavelength are still an ongoing issue in order to obtained reasonable probability of populating the traps. this is ongoing work, trying to increase the power of the lasers and find alternative lasers which are better tuned to our cold atom system.",
          "update_nl": "In ons laboratorium is voor het eerst getest of compacte lasers kunnen worden gebruikt voor het vangen van koude atomen, waarbij de eerste aanwijzingen voor het slagen van het vangen zijn waargenomen. Het vermogen en de golflengte vormen nog steeds een uitdaging om een redelijke kans te verkrijgen dat de vallen worden gevuld. Dit onderzoek loopt nog; we proberen het vermogen van de lasers te verhogen en alternatieve lasers te vinden die beter zijn afgestemd op ons systeem met koude atomen."
