Entangling gate performance and fidelity limits with neutral atom Förster resonances

S. A. Norrell, Y. Shen, M. Saffman +1

Neutral-atom entangling gates are commonly analyzed with a single effective Rydberg-pair state, but near Förster resonances the pair manifold contains resonantly coupled interactio…

Demonstration of a Logical Architecture Uniting Motion and In-Place Entanglement

Rich Rines, Benjamin Hall, Mariesa H. Teo +35

We demonstrate a logical neutral atom architecture that integrates atom motion with in-place entanglement to achieve lower overheads than entangling-zone approaches. Using a 114-qu…

Experimental observation of subabsorption

D. C. Gold, U. Saglam, S. Carpenter +5

We predict and experimentally demonstrate a new type of collective (cooperative) coupling effect where a disordered atomic ensemble absorbs light with a rise-time longer (i. e., at…

Doppler-free, Multi-wavelength Acousto-optic deflector for two-photon addressing arrays of Rb atoms in a Quantum Information Processor

Sangtaek Kim, Robert R. Mcleod, Mark Saffman +1

We demonstrate a dual wavelength acousto-optic deflector (AOD) designed to deflect two wavelengths to the same angles by driving with two RF frequencies. The AOD is designed as a b…
