Controlled interaction between pairs of atoms in a

double-well optical lattice

Neutral atom quantum computing

•Well characterized qubits

•Ability to (re)initialize

•Decoherence times longer than operation times

•A universal set of gates1) One-qubit 2) Two-qubit

•State specific readout

All in a Scalable Architecture

Minimal Requirements

Demonstrate controlled, coherent, 2-neutral atom interactions

Provide a test bed for some scalable ideas

e.g. sub-wavelength addressing

Short Term Goal

(also a potential platform for quantum information using global/parallel control)

Goal:

demonstrate controlled, coherent, 2-neutral atom

interactions

Two individually trapped atoms

Arrays of pairs of atoms in double-

well lattice

Merge pairs of atoms to control interactions

Maintain separate orbital (vibrational) states:qubits are always labeled and distinct.

Experimental requirements

Step 1: load single atoms into sites

Step 2: independently control spins

Step 3: combine wells into same site,

wait for time T

Step 4: measure state occupation(orbital + spin)
