technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of cold-atom optical lattices, in particular to a method for realizing a two-dimensional cold-atom surface optical lattice with a circular aperture array, and is applicable to any type of neutral cold-atom optical lattice. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the study of atomic optical lattices based on one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional standing wave laser fields has become one of the research hotspots in the field of cold atom physics and atomic optics. This technique has been gradually applied to the confinement and control of cold atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), dynamics of polarization gradient cooling and trapping, Raman cooling and adiabatic cooling, quantum transport and tunneling, etc. in the research.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although great achievements have been made in the study of atomic optical lattices, due to the influence of the diffraction limit of light, the characteristic scale of the light field of traditional atomic optical lattices can only be limited to the linear range of the half-wavelength order. On the micron scale, so this will bring some deficiencies to the basic research and technical characteristics of atomic optical lattices

At the same time, with the continuous development of microfabrication technology and integrated optics, the continuous miniaturization of optical components has approached the diffraction limit of light, which will lead to a bottleneck in the nanoscale atomic optical lattice
