Physics and Astronomy Colloquium
Quantum Science with Tweezer Arrays
Presented by Dr. Manuel Endres (Caltech)
Optical tweezer arrays have had a transformative impact on atomic and molecular physics over the past years, and they now form the backbone for a wide range of leading experiments in quantum computing, simulation, and metrology. Underlying this development is the simplicity of single particle control and detection inherent to the technique. I will introduce the key concepts associated with this approach and then give an overview of experimental results from our group, including high-fidelity two-qubit entanglement, quantum simulation challenging state-of-the-art classical algorithms, novel schemes for encoding quantum qubits, and an outlook towards scalability with our most recent results on trapping over 6,000 atoms.
