Title: Fast single atom imaging in optical lattice arrays

Abstract: High-resolution fluorescence imaging of ultracold atoms and molecules is paramount to performing quantum simulation and computation in optical lattices and optical tweezers. Imaging durations in these experiments typically range from a millisecond to a second, which can significantly limit the cycle time. In this work, we present fast, 2.4 us single-atom imaging in lattices, with 99.4% fidelity. Additionally, we resolve lattice sites spaced within the diffraction limit by using accordion lattices to increase the atom spacing before imaging. This overcomes the challenge of imaging small-spacing lattices and enables the study of extended Hubbard models using magnetic atoms. We also demonstrate number-resolved imaging without parity projection, which will facilitate experiments such as the exploration of high-filling phases in the extended Bose-Hubbard models, multi-band or SU(N) Fermi-Hubbard models, and quantum link models.
