Project description
Advanced approach simplifies atom control to improve quantum applications
Neutral atoms in tweezer arrays hold promise in quantum technology owing to their ability to interact in powerful ways through a mechanism known as the Rydberg Blockade. However, as these systems expand, controlling each atom individually becomes challenging. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the CODRA project seeks to address this by using global controls over local ones to simplify operations. By arranging atoms into specialised formations like superatoms and Rydberg gadgets, CODRA outcomes could significantly enhance quantum computation and optimisation.
Objective
In recent years, neutral atoms in tweezer arrays have gained prominence as scalable platforms for a variety of quantum technology applications, primarily due to the powerful collective dynamics offered by the Rydberg blockade mechanism. As the platform’s size continues to grow, there is an increasing theoretical emphasis on devising protocols that predominantly utilize global atom driving, given the persistent challenges associated with individual atom addressing. In this research proposal, the Applicant will deepen the understanding of the complex collective dynamics inherent to Rydberg arrays, with the objective of formulating innovative, scalable protocols that minimize the reliance on local controls. He will investigate a brand new set of dynamics, made accessible via the strategic inclusion of proper arrangement of atoms – superatoms and Rydberg gadgets – for quantum computation and optimization purposes, leveraging the Host’s deep expertise in the field.
