Entanglement transport and a nanophotonic interface for atoms in optical tweezers

Abstract

Programmable arrays of atoms or ions trapped in optical potentials have recently emerged as a leading platform for quantum simulation. Being able to interface into these arrays to access the quantum information being processed and pass it along to another module remains a challenge. Ðorđević et al . developed a hybrid quantum system that combines atoms held in optical tweezers and a nanophotonic cavity to demonstrate full quantum control, efficient quantum nondestructive readout, and entanglement of atom pairs (see the Perspective by Kaufman). By combining atomic manipulation both inside and away from the cavity field and shuffling the atom qubits into and out of the cavity mode, the authors demonstrate a viable optical interface that could be scaled to larger systems. —ISO
