1. A system comprising:
an atomic object confinement apparatus comprising a plurality of electrodes configured to generate a confinement potential configured to confine one or more atomic objects, the confinement potential defining a plurality of atomic object positions; and
one or more signal manipulation elements, each signal manipulation element of the one or more signal manipulation elements (a) associated with a respective atomic object position of the plurality of atomic object positions and (b) being one of:
a collection array, the collection array configured to, responsive to an emitted signal emitted by an atomic object located at the respective atomic object position being incident on the collection array, provide an induced collection signal to a respective collection position, or
an action array, the action array configured to, responsive to an incoming signal generated by a manipulation source being incident on the action array, provide an induced action signal to the respective atomic object position.
