Long-lived giant circular Rydberg atoms at room temperature
Einius Pultinevicius, Aaron Götzelmann, Fabian Thielemann +2
Stability achieved by large angular momentum is ubiquitous in nature, with examples ranging from classical mechanics, over optics and chemistry, to nuclear physics. In atoms, angul…
Quadrupole coupling of circular Rydberg qubits to inner shell excitations
Moritz Wirth, Christian Hölzl, Aaron Götzelmann +2
Divalent atoms provide excellent means for advancing control in Rydberg atom-based quantum simulation and computing, due to the second optically active valence electron available.…
Coherent Control of the Fine-Structure Qubit in a Single Alkaline-Earth Atom
Govind Unnikrishnan, Philipp Ilzhöfer, Achim Scholz +10
We report on the first realization of a novel neutral atom qubit encoded in the metastable fine-structure states and of single Sr atoms trapped…
Long-Lived Circular Rydberg Qubits of Alkaline-Earth Atoms in Optical Tweezers
Christian Hölzl, Aaron Götzelmann, Einius Pultinevicius +2
Coherence time and gate fidelities in Rydberg atom quantum simulators and computers are fundamentally limited by the Rydberg state lifetime. Circular Rydberg states are highly prom…
