  We demonstrate rapid loading of a small array of optical tweezers with a
single $^{87}$Rb atom per site. We find that loading efficiencies of up to 90%
per tweezer are achievable in less than 170 ms for traps separated by more than
$1.7 \,\mu\text{m}$. Interestingly, we find the load efficiency is affected by
nearby traps and present the efficiency as a function of the spacing between
two optical tweezers. This enhanced loading, combined with subsequent
rearranging of filled sites, will enable the study of quantum many-body systems
via quantum gas assembly.
