Strategic Plan for Neutral Atom Quantum Computation
Adrian J. Menssen, Tout Wang, Michael Gullans +54
We present a strategic plan for neutral atom quantum computation, bringing together hardware development and theory advancements to achieve the goal of practical quantum advantage.…
Atom--photon Entanglement with a Single Trapped Cesium Atom
H. Hwang, J. Moon, F. Herzallah +3
We demonstrate atom--photon entanglement using a single cesium atom trapped in an optical tweezer. Entanglement is generated by resonant excitation and subsequent spontaneous decay…
Galilean Invariance in the Characterization of Light Drag in Moving Atomic Vapor
Edgar S. Arroyo-Rivera, Long D. Nguyen, Surendar Vijayakumar +2
Light experiences drag effects when it propagates through a moving medium. The study of light drag has provided foundational insights into light-matter interactions. While longitud…
The shadow of a laser beam
Raphael A Abrahao, Henri P N Morin, Jordan T R Page +3
Light, being massless, casts no shadow; under ordinary circumstances, photons pass right through each other unimpeded. Here, we demonstrate a laser beam acting like an object - the…
