Neutral atom arrays have emerged as a leading quantum information science platform, thanks in large part to their versatility in unifying diverse regimes of quantum science. After describing the fundamentals of the system, I will show how we use it to realize a universal quantum computer, achieving state-of-the-art fidelities through a combination of novel error learning and atomic engineering techniques. To showcase its potential, we hybridize our experiment with a precise atomic clock, and implement quantum algorithms for exponentially improving sensing performance. I will conclude with ongoing work to integrate atom arrays with a novel optical cavity architecture, the cavity array microscope, to enable parallelized networking for both scaling these systems, and for realizing novel, distributed applications across the uncharted quantum frontier.
