Motional refocusing for trap-off Rydberg gates
Yoav Sagi, Ofer Firstenberg, Nir Davidson +1
Rydberg entangling gates in optical-tweezer arrays are commonly executed with the trapping light switched off, so every gate contains a release--and--recapture cycle that heats the…
Bimodal non-Gaussian photonic states from a single quantum emitter in a waveguide
Thomas Copie, Ofer Firstenberg, G. P. Teja +2
We investigate the generation of deterministic and heralded non-Gaussian states of light, using a single two-level system coupled to a chiral waveguide. We study the case of a sing…
Single-atom trapping in the evanescent field of an integrated photonic resonator
Yair Margalit, Omri Davidson, Oded Zemer +16
Strong atom-photon interactions on scalable photonic platforms hold significant potential for both atomic and photonic quantum information platforms. In particular, trapping of a s…
Non-symmetric quantum interfaces with bilayer atomic arrays
Roni Ben-Maimon, Ofer Firstenberg, Nir Davidson +1
We study quantum light-matter interfaces based on bilayer atomic arrays in free space, considering interlayer spacings that may deviate from the Bragg-symmetric condition, $a…
Fast measurement of neutral atoms with a multi-atom gate
Yotam Vaknin, Ran Finkelstein, Ofer Firstenberg +1
Measurement time represents a critical bottleneck limiting the operational speed of neutral atom quantum computers, as it cannot be accelerated through parallelization like other q…
Multiband dispersion and warped vortices of strongly-interacting photons
Bankim Chandra Das, Dmytro Kiselov, Lee Drori +3
We present a theoretical study of quantum correlations between interacting photons realized through co-propagating Rydberg polaritons. We show that the spatial evolution of the …
