Optical tweezer arrays have burst onto the quantum technology scene, providing unprecedented control over atomic and molecular systems. These advancements have accelerated academic and industrial progress in these systems, driving rapid development of new capabilities and scientific discoveries.

The goal of this Winter conference is to provide a venue for the exchange of ideas that drive innovation and push the frontier of this field. In the two years since this conference was first held, the field has advanced significantly, and the number of tweezer-based quantum companies has more than doubled. To keep pace with this rapidly evolving landscape, we invite theorists and experimentalists working with the tweezer-array platform to join us in Aspen for this Winter Conference. The program will feature talks from both academia and industry highlighting theoretical and experimental advances, as well as the future potential of tweezer arrays. We invite contributions from a wide range of research interests, career stages and institutional affiliations.

Among the scientific applications for tweezer arrays, we will consider the following:

• quantum simulation of many-body physics;
• quantum information processing;
• ultracold quantum chemistry;
• quantum sensing and metrology;
• new optical tweezer techniques
