Motional Kerr-Cat States of an Atom in an Optical Tweezer

Steven K. Pampel, Gur Lubin, Dawson P. Hewatt +6

Schrödinger cat states - quantum superpositions of classically or macroscopically distinct states - constitute a powerful resource for quantum computing, enhanced metrology, and p…

Hybrid qubit-oscillator module from motional states of two interacting atoms

Jaeyong Hwang, Tianrui Xu, Sean R. Muleady +7

We propose a qubit-oscillator platform based on the motional states of two interacting atoms in an optical tweezer. By stroboscopically modulating an engineered trap with tunable a…

Quantum control of continuous systems via nonharmonic potential modulation

Piotr T. Grochowski, Hannes Pichler, Cindy A. Regal +1

We present a theoretical proposal for preparing and manipulating a state of a single continuous-variable degree of freedom confined to a nonharmonic potential. By utilizing optimal…
