Motional Kerr-Cat States of an Atom in an Optical Tweezer
Steven K. Pampel, Gur Lubin, Dawson P. Hewatt +6
Schrödinger cat states - quantum superpositions of classically or macroscopically distinct states - constitute a powerful resource for quantum computing, enhanced metrology, and pr…

Hybrid qubit-oscillator module from motional states of two interacting atoms
Jaeyong Hwang, Tianrui Xu, Sean R. Muleady +5
We propose a qubit-oscillator platform based on the motional states of two interacting atoms in an optical tweezer. By stroboscopically modulating an engineered trap with tunable a…

Quantifying Light-assisted Collisions in Optical Tweezers Across the Hyperfine Spectrum
Steven K. Pampel, Matteo Marinelli, Mark O. Brown +2
We investigate the role of hyperfine structure in resonant-dipole interactions between two atoms cotrapped in an optical tweezer. Two-body loss rates from light-assisted collisions…
