Many methods of quantum computing are currently being researched because quantum computers may be able to perform certain calculations that we currently cannot because they would take the age of the universe. To create a viable quantum computer one must be able to create a multiple qubit gate. For our specific ap proach, neutral atom quantum computing, one must find a way to bring two atoms together, entangle them and separate them in order to create a multiple qubit gate. In our research we explored a way of facilitating the creation of a multiple qubit gate using the diffraction pattern created by two polarized lasers incident upon a
