High-fidelity entanglement of polar molecules by dynamic geometric control

Scarlett S. Yu, Avikar Periwal, Jiaqi You +6

In quantum information systems made of optical tweezer arrays of ultracold molecules, thermal motion of molecules degrades the coherence of their interactions, which limits entangl…
