"fast (massively parallel), large (scalable up to thousands of qubits) quantum systems using highly focused laser beams holding individual atom in place, excited in specific sequence,... semi-open chip geometry allowing atom arrays to interface with photonic chips... quantum computation region, then small portion of those atoms containing desired data moved to interconnect region for photon extraction/ transmission through optical fibers simultaneously to hundreds of nanophotonic cavities"
