Multi-Qubit Stabilizer Readout on a Dual-Species Rydberg Array

Yu Wang, Ryan Cimmino, Kenneth Wang +7

The ability to locally control and measure subsets of ancilla qubits in an efficient and crosstalk-free manner is a key ingredient in quantum error correction (QEC). Dual-species n…

Probing critical phenomena in open quantum systems using atom arrays

Fang Fang, Kenneth Wang, Vincent S. Liu +8

At continuous phase transitions, quantum many-body systems exhibit scale-invariance and complex, emergent universal behavior. Most strikingly, at a quantum critical point, correlat…

High resolution photoassociation spectroscopy of the excited potential of NaCs

Lewis R. B. Picard, Jessie T. Zhang, William B. Cairncross +8

We report on photoassociation spectroscopy probing the potential of the bi-alkali NaCs molecule, identifying eleven vibrational lines between and of…

Enriching the quantum toolbox of ultracold molecules with Rydberg atoms

Kenneth Wang, Conner P. Williams, Lewis R. B. Picard +2

We describe a quantum information architecture consisting of a hybrid array of optically-trapped molecules and atoms. This design leverages the large transition dipole moments of R…

An optical tweezer array of ground-state polar molecules

Jessie T. Zhang, Lewis R. B. Picard, William B. Cairncross +4

Fully internal and motional state controlled and individually manipulable polar molecules are desirable for many quantum science applications leveraging the rich state space and in…

Assembly of a rovibrational ground state molecule in an optical tweezer

William B. Cairncross, Jessie T. Zhang, Lewis R. B. Picard +3

We demonstrate the coherent creation of a single NaCs molecule in its rotational, vibrational, and electronic (rovibronic) ground state in an optical tweezer. Starting with a weakl…
