Demonstration of a neutral atom controlled-NOT quantum gate
L. Isenhower, E. Urban, X. L. Zhang +5
We present the first demonstration of a CNOT gate using neutral atoms. Our implementation of the CNOT uses Rydberg blockade interactions between neutral atoms held in optical traps…
Observation of Rydberg blockade between two atoms
E. Urban, T. A. Johnson, T. Henage +4
We demonstrate experimentally that a single Rb atom excited to the level blocks the subsequent excitation of a second atom located more than away. The obser…
Rabi flopping between ground and Rydberg states with dipole-dipole atomic interactions
T. A. Johnson, E. Urban, T. Henage +4
We demonstrate Rabi flopping of small numbers of atoms between ground and Rydberg states with . Coherent population oscillations are observed for single ato…
Fast Ground State Manipulation of Neutral Atoms in Microscopic Optical Traps
D. D. Yavuz, P. B. Kulatunga, E. Urban +5
We demonstrate Rabi flopping at MHz rates between ground hyperfine states of neutral Rb atoms that are trapped in two micron sized optical traps. Using tightly focused laser…
