Description
Recent progress with optical tweezer arrays has shown that Ytterbium-171 has several favorable features for quantum computing and entanglement generation. The naturally two-level nuclear spin qubit is highly robust in both the ground electronic state (1S0) and metastable clock state (3P0), due to a lack of hyperfine coupling in J=0 states. Recently, we also have demonstrated mid-circuit measurement, where we store ancilla atoms in the optical clock state which is dark to the measurement beam. In this talk, we describe our progress in generating and manipulating entangled Ytterbium atom arrays. We report the result of a fast, high-fidelity two-qubit gate using purely optical fields.
