Abstract
Neutral-atom quantum processors are a promising platform for scalable quantum computing. An obstacle to implementing deep quantum circuits is managing atom loss. Current approaches require at least an order of magnitude longer time than gate and measurement operations to replace lost atoms. In this work, we demonstrate fast, continuous atom reloading that leverages the metastable <sup>171</sup>Yb qubit. A continuously loaded reservoir near the computation zone enables on-demand atom extraction with tweezers up to 500 times per second. New, stochastically filled qubit arrays can be initialized 30 times per second when including single-atom preparation, nondestructive imaging, and initialization. Existing qubits in the metastable state are undisturbed by the reloading process. This work establishes a complete foundation for the implementation of fast, fully fault-tolerant quantum circuits with unlimited depth.
