Abstract

Strong atom–photon interactions in optical cavities are a key resource for quantum information processing, quantum networking, and the exploration of quantum optical effects. Optical tweezer arrays offer scalable, site-resolved control of neutral atoms, but their integration with high-cooperativity cavity QED systems remains challenging. Here we combine a twelve-site 87Rb optical tweezer array with a high-cooperativity fiber Fabry–Pérot microcavity. The array is positioned within the cavity mode and individual sites are controlled with subwavelength precision, enabling continuous tuning of the single-atom coupling strength via deterministic displacement through the standing-wave field. For up to five atoms coupled to the cavity, we measure collectively enhanced vacuum Rabi splitting and implement cavity-based non-destructive readout of the number of coupled atoms. These results establish a scalable architecture for cavity-mediated entanglement generation, and many-body cavity QED with single-atom control, and they lay the foundation for fiber-integrated quantum network nodes.
