Atom Computing’s neutral atom array quantum computation platform

Abstract: A quantum computer capable of useful computation will likely require numbers of qubits beyond what is accessible today, a means of performing mid-circuit readout of a subset of those qubits, and the ability to perform high-fidelity gates, all integrated into a platform capable of executing arbitrary quantum circuits.  In this talk, I will present recent progress towards achieving these goals at Atom Computing Inc, using neutral ytterbium atoms confined within arrays of optical tweezers.   This includes an iterative approach to assembling and maintaining arrays of atoms, a means of selective qubit readout through local light-shifts, and a demonstration of high-fidelity two-qubit gates using a protocol suited to the level structure of alkaline earth atoms.  I will also present examples of how these elements can be combined to execute quantum circuits that algorithmically generate large physical and logical entangled states.
