Arrays of neutral atoms trapped in optical tweezers are a fast-rising platform for quantum simulation, quantum computation, and quantum metrology. They offer exquisite control over many degrees of freedom, including the internal quantum states, motional states, array geometries, and doping. By driving the atoms to highly excited Rydberg states, the atoms can be made to interact over long range. The interacting atoms can in turn be exploited for many applications like simulating quantum magnetism and executing quantum logic gates.
Our laboratory focuses on using scalable and programmable atom arrays as quantum information processors, quantum simulators, and quantum sensors. Our recent interests include engineering robust quantum systems and quantum simulations of far-from-equilibrium dynamics.
