Trapped Rydberg ions are a novel approach for quantum information processing [1]. By combining the high degree of control of trapped ion systems with the long-range dipolar interactions of Rydberg atoms [2], fast entanglement gates may be realized in large ion crystals [1,3].
Quantum information processing in such a system uses low-lying electronic states for storage of qubits and strongly...
With solely visible and near-infrared wavelength fine-structure transitions, and isotopes with diverse nuclear spins, Barium makes an ideal candidate for developing novel quantum computing architectures. I will present our designs for a versatile and open-access quantum computer which leverages these favorable features of Barium. The visible and near-infrared wavelengths allows for the use of...
The field of optical cooling concerns many areas of current scientific research, among which are quantum simulation [1], frequency standards [2], Bose-Einstein condensation [3], atom optics [4]. Recent studies often focus on the cooling of various nanoparticles and nanoclusters using cavity cooling [5], feedback cooling [6], and laser cooling based on resonant transitions in impurities [7]....
Ultracold atoms and trapped ions are among the most studied physical systems in experimental quantum physics. On the one hand, ultracold neutral atoms form coherent ensembles of a great number of particles whose interactions, dimensionality and motion can be precisely controlled by well-established techniques. On the other hand, trapped ions constitute smaller samples that can be efficiently...
