In this thesis, we propose and analyze a new approach for quantum computation and simulation, leveraging fermionic particles on optical lattices under quantum gas microscopes. We engineer the SWAP gate and high-fidelity controlled-phase gates by adjusting the fermion hopping as well as the Feshbach interaction between two fermions. These gates, together with previously demonstrated single-qubit rotations, form a universal gate set.
