Reconfigurable neutral-atom arrays are a promising platform for quantum computing, quantum simulation, and quantum metrology, but atom transport using frequency-chirped acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) is limited by chirp-induced acoustic lensing and trajectory distortion. We address these limitations using a three-dimensional acousto-optic deflector lens (3D-AODL), a design predicted to reduce long-range transport times by more than a factor of two. We further introduce fading-Shepard waveforms that circumvent finite AOD bandwidth, enabling sustained axial displacement. We demonstrate unrestricted three-dimensional optical-tweezer motion over a 200 $\mu$m $\times$ 200 $\mu$m $\times$ 136 $\mu$m volume with velocities exceeding 4.2 m/s. Arbitrary three-dimensional control of optical-tweezer trajectories enables rapid atom rearrangement and dynamical engineering of optical potentials in tweezer arrays and optical lattices. This capability advances quantum control and atom manipulation in neutral-atom quantum processors by enabling faster rearrangement, higher clock rates, and scalable sorting in complex geometries.

    A modular atomic processor with 500,000 qubits factors 2048-bit RSA numbers in roughly the same time as a single large module when inter-module Bell-pair communication runs at 10^5 per second.
