Robust phase-controlled gates for scalable atomic quantum processors using optical standing waves
Shannon Whitlock
A simple scheme is presented for realizing robust optically controlled quantum gates for scalable atomic quantum processors by driving the qubits with optical standing waves. Atoms…
Quantum simulation and computing with Rydberg-interacting qubits
M. Morgado, S. Whitlock
Arrays of optically trapped atoms excited to Rydberg states have recently emerged as a competitive physical platform for quantum simulation and computing, where high-fidelity state…
Glassy dynamics in a disordered Heisenberg quantum spin system
A. Signoles, T. Franz, R. Ferracini Alves +4
Understanding the dynamics of strongly interacting disordered quantum systems is one of the most challenging problems in modern science, due to features such as the breakdown of th…
Unitary and non-unitary quantum cellular automata with Rydberg arrays
T. M. Wintermantel, Y. Wang, G. Lochead +3
We propose a physical realization of quantum cellular automata (QCA) using arrays of ultracold atoms excited to Rydberg states. The key ingredient is the use of programmable multif…
A versatile, high-power 460nm laser system for Rydberg excitation of ultracold potassium
Alda Arias, Stephan Helmrich, Christoph Schweiger +3
We present a versatile laser system which provides more than 1.5W of narrowband light, tunable in the range from 455-463 nm. It consists of a commercial Titanium-Sapphire laser whi…
Optimized magnetic lattices for ultracold atomic ensembles
Roman Schmied, Dietrich Leibfried, Robert J. C. Spreeuw +1
We introduce a general method for designing tailored lattices of magnetic microtraps for ultracold atoms, on the basis of patterned permanently magnetized films. A fast numerical a…
Spatially Resolved Excitation of Rydberg Atoms and Surface Effects on an Atom Chip
Atreju Tauschinsky, Rutger M. T. Thijssen, S. Whitlock +2
We demonstrate spatially resolved, coherent excitation of Rydberg atoms on an atom chip. Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is used to investigate the properties of the…
