Abstract
A system and method for controlling atomic particles using projected light are provided. In some aspects, a method includes providing a plurality of atomic particles, and generating light fields using frequencies shifted from at least one atomic resonance. The method also includes forming a two-dimensional ('2D') optical array using the generated light fields, wherein the 2D optical array comprises linear segments of light, and projecting the 2D optical array on the plurality of atomic particles to control their respective locations in space.
