Abstract: Arrays of neutral atoms promise to enable a variety of experiments across quantum science, including quantum information processing, metrology, and many-body physics. While there have been recent significant improvements in quantum control, coherence times, and entanglement generation, one outstanding limitation is the efficient implementation of dissipation or measurement. An exciting possibility to overcome this challenge involves the integration of the atom array with an optical cavity, whereby strong coupling between atoms and light enables fast programmable mid-circuit measurement. Beyond quantum information processing applications (e.g. error correcting codes), engineered dissipation in interacting quantum systems opens the door to autonomous stabilization of many-body states as well as studies of measurement induced entanglement transitions.
JQI Seminars are held on Mondays during Fall and Spring semesters at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time in Room 2400 of the Atlantic Building. University of Maryland affiliates may participate using Zoom. The seminars are also livestreamed on the JQI YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/JQInews), which supports audience participation in the chat interface.
