Assembling a Bose-Hubbard superfluid from tweezer-controlled single atoms
William J. Eckner, Theodor Lukin Yelin, Alec Cao +4
Quantum simulation relies on the preparation and control of low-entropy many-body systems to reveal the behavior of classically intractable models. The development of new approache…
Multi-qubit gates and Schrödinger cat states in an optical clock
Alec Cao, William J. Eckner, Theodor Lukin Yelin +8
Many-particle entanglement is a key resource for achieving the fundamental precision limits of a quantum sensor. Optical atomic clocks, the current state-of-the-art in frequency pr…
An atomic boson sampler
Aaron W. Young, Shawn Geller, William J. Eckner +4
A boson sampler implements a restricted model of quantum computing. It is defined by the ability to sample from the distribution resulting from the interference of identical bosons…
Realizing spin squeezing with Rydberg interactions in a programmable optical clock
William J. Eckner, Nelson Darkwah Oppong, Alec Cao +5
Neutral-atom arrays trapped in optical potentials are a powerful platform for studying quantum physics, combining precise single-particle control and detection with a range of tuna…
Tweezer-programmable 2D quantum walks in a Hubbard-regime lattice
Aaron W. Young, William J. Eckner, Nathan Schine +2
Quantum walks provide a framework for understanding and designing quantum algorithms that is both intuitive and universal. To leverage the computational power of these walks, it is…
Long-lived Bell states in an array of optical clock qubits
Nathan Schine, Aaron W. Young, William J. Eckner +2
The generation of long-lived entanglement on an optical clock transition is a key requirement to unlocking the promise of quantum metrology. Arrays of neutral atoms constitute a ca…
High-Power, Fiber-Laser-Based Source for Magic-Wavelength Trapping in Neutral-Atom Optical Clocks
William J. Eckner, Aaron W. Young, Nathan Schine +1
We present a continuous-wave, 810 nm laser with watt-level powers. Our system is based on difference-frequency generation of 532 nm and 1550 nm fiber lasers in a single pass throug…
A tweezer clock with half-minute atomic coherence at optical frequencies and high relative stability
Aaron W. Young, William J. Eckner, William R. Milner +6
The preparation of large, low-entropy, highly coherent ensembles of identical quantum systems is foundational for many studies in quantum metrology, simulation, and information. He…
Seconds-scale coherence in a tweezer-array optical clock
Matthew A. Norcia, Aaron W. Young, William J. Eckner +3
Optical clocks based on atoms and ions achieve exceptional precision and accuracy, with applications to relativistic geodesy, tests of relativity, and searches for dark matter. Ach…
Microscopic control and detection of ultracold strontium in optical-tweezer arrays
M. A. Norcia, A. W. Young, A. M. Kaufman
We demonstrate a set of tools for microscopic control of neutral strontium atoms. We report single-atom loading into an array of sub-wavelength scale optical tweezers, light-shift…
